I now think that Michigan delegates should be split 50/50
Advertisements [?]
I was willing to go with the 69-59 split that the MI Democrats have proposed, giving Hillary a net of 10 delegates based on the votes she received during the sham primary. But her argument is that the Rules Committee can't allocate any delegates to Obama since his name was not on the ballot, and that he should get no delegates at all. In that case, then I believe that the primary was completely invalid, and that the only possible solution is an even 50/50 split, meaning that the MI delegation gets seated, but there is no net effect in the delegate count.

As for Florida, they should split them according to the primary, but give each delegate 1/2 a vote.
