If it was the State of Florida in some fashion and if the DNC warned the primary would be invalid before it was officially changed, then I believe the responsibility lies with the State. If the DNC kept quiet until the date change occurred, then it should be the DNC's responsibility. If the Florida DC agreed to this change and had the option to leave it where it was, then the responsibility lies with the FDC.

However, I do not believe the previous vote should stand. Either the delegates are totally out as the DNC decided or it should be a revote since many Democrats did not vote for the simple reason they knew their vote was worthless for the primaries.
Think that the FL legislators moved up the primary date so that FL could have more of an impact on the elections. Sort of like a bunch of hunters shooting at one target. The fatal bullet might be fired early on so they wanted to make sure they were in on the kill.
