3. Yes, "manipulated." Your wording.
I think it's possible to make an argument that voters in MI were manipulated because the ballot was not complete.

However, voters in Florida had their chance. All the candidates were on the ballot. FL saw huge turnout. Those who did not vote chose not to do so, and there was nothing preventing them from going to the polls to make their voice heard -- even if they knew it wouldn't count.

So I'm not arguing the point you're making about party rules. I'm addressing the notion that somehow all voters in both states were manipulated or disenfranchised or something along those lines. It's not true.
