The Voters Of Florida And Michigan Deserve A Do-Over Where Their Votes Count |
|
It was the legislators of the respective states that moved up the primary dates, not the voters... We don't have collective punishment in the United States... This isn't the Army where the whole platoon has to do one hundred push ups because one soldier messes up...

1. Not only a 'do-over' but a real campaign AND real candidates on the ballot. |
|
At least florida had all their names listed. In michigan it was only DK, HC or "uncommitted"

2. from a Florida voter...we were screwed.. |
|
I'm not mad at HRC or BO or JE or DK or any of the candidates. But to put this state's Democrats in this position begs the question of Democratic Party leadership's ability to direct the party. These kinds of situations and decisions will haunt the party...and not in the distant future.

3. I did hear one good suggestion |
|
that instead of voiding the primary, the DNC should have taken away the super delegates votes in those states, since those are the people who screwed this whole thing up.
