Polls have opened in the U.S. Florida State Primary. Voters are casting ballots for the Republican and Democratic candidate they want to represent them in the forthcoming U.S. Presidential election.

But whilst candidates for the Republican Party have been campaigning hard in the Sunshine State, Democrat contenders have barely set foot in Florida. The Florida Democrat Party was penalised for bringing forward their Primary, meaning the result won’t count.
