The key battleground state of Florida decided Friday to move up its Republican presidential primary to Jan. 31, snubbing party rules and triggering angry responses from traditional early voting primary states which will now likely move up their primaries to stay ahead.
The move thwarts efforts by both major political parties to delay presidential primaries and caucuses. Their aim has been to avoid a repeat of the 2008 scenario, when states jumped ahead of each other in attempts to increase their influence in the process.
