The Commission On Presidential Debates indicated they are looking to this Florida debate and similar Open Debates as they seek innovative formats for the 2016 general election.

Mike McCurry, Co-Chairman, Commission on Presidential Debates: “The Commission is watching the primary debates closely looking for innovation. We are especially interested in how the Internet and social media can be utilized to generate real questions from real people. We’d be especially interested in any experiments or new technologies the Open Debates Coalition employs during the primary season to generate questions from the American public and put them – via a journalist/moderator – to the candidates. We have a working group exploring many ideas about debate formats, and we hope to build on those things that are working to create a more vibrant public debate.”
