TAMPA - A local Latino group Monday sued Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus, contending that the GOP's primary schedule unconstitutionally dilutes the electoral clout of Hispanic Republican voters.
Moreover, the lawsuit, filed in U.S. District Court in Tampa, asks a federal judge to stop the Republican Party from taking away half of Florida's delegates for scheduling today's presidential preference primary earlier than party rules allow.
A GOP spokesman said the party's legal staff needed to review the suit before he could comment.
