28. Yes, here you go.
The republicans wanted the date moved up, the Dems went along, but wanted to follow party rules and have it on or after Feb. 5th to follow party rules, so they made two amendments to have it that way and it was voted down by the repug congress.

A paper trail voting law was also attached to the bill, so if Dems went against it, it would mean they voted against a paper trail for voting.

The rules at the time of FL doing this stated that 1/2 of the delegates would not be seated, but Donna Brazile made a ruling with no meetings that FL delegates would not count. It is her ruling, not the official rules of the DNC that are not allowing delegates from FL to be seated.

And she is the one saying that if Super delegates decide this election she will quit the party.

I am mortified by the whole thing. Please keep the link and read it when you feel better.
