Despite all the cancellations over Chinese Coronavirus (aka COVID-19), our right to elect our leaders continues undeterred. The Florida Presidential primary election will be held Tuesday, March 17th (St. Patrick’s Day) from 7am to 7pm.
Only registered Republicans are allowed to vote for their Republican primary. Only registered Democrats will be allowed to vote for their Democrat primary.

Of course, President Trump is expected to easily win the Republican primary as he has in each state so far.
