The Duval County Democratic Party will host a party to watch the returns from Tuesday’s Florida Primary at the Havana-Jax Café, 2572 Atlantic Blvd., in the St. Nicholas shopping district (about a mile west of the Duval County Democratic Party headquarters, 4811 Beach Blvd., Suite 103).
The election watch begins at 7 p.m. — just after the polls close — in a special room adjacent to the main restaurant, which has a big screen television for projection of election returns direct from the Supervisor of Elections Office. Duval County Democratic Party delegates to the National Convention, which is meeting in Denver the same night, will be calling in to give firsthand accounts of their convention experiences.
Attendees will include Democratic Party candidates who face Republican challengers in the General Election Nov. 4.
An available cash bar, a selection of good food offered by the establishment, and seating for more than 200 will be available.
Democrats who plan to attend are asked to notify the Democratic Party headquarters so adequate light refreshments can be provided. Call 390-7001 before 5 p.m. Tuesday.
