Florida & Michigan - Should the votes count?

[mike black]

Just wondering what everyone thinks.

[Jason California]

Should have made this a public vote.

More schmucky Hillaryness is what it is.

[Ray G.]

I can't vote in the poll. The votes as they stand should not count. Especially in Michigan, where Hilldog ran unopposed. A revote, however, is the best thing for all concerned.

[Dr. Hackenbush]

Hell no. Everyone who voted in those states should be raising hell with their state reps too. Their state committees screwed over their own voters.

This is especially true in Michigan where the choices in the democratic primary were Hillary Clinton and "uncommitted".

revote.

They need to redo the votes in both states. The only question is who pays for it. Part of me thinks the party should, but the states are the ones who chose to violate the rules. However, the taxpayers shouldn't be screwed twice over.

[Bill Nolan]

Either don't count them or have a revote. I would have no problem with either of those courses. To count the votes when there wasn't equal candidate participation would just seem like more Big Democrat Machine shenanigans coronating the Big Machine candidate. That won't go over well.

revote.

The Republicans by the way have also said Florida and Michigan should be given the opportunity for a revote.

[Bill!]

If they counted the two as is, the party would splinter and be irrepairable for the general election. They need a revote. That's the only way to fix it.

This is the first election I've been able to vote as an American Citizen (in 2004, I was 17 and not a US citizen). I was incredibly elated to partake in this. Then, all I saw was Hillary. I choose not to vote and was incredibly disappointed.
