5. I am absolutely disgusted that Hillary Clinton...
...and her party insiders would even think--for one minute about "counting"
Michigan.

The candidates were told not to campaign there and that the delegates would not count.

The entire electorate was operating under the assumption that their votes would not
count. Many voters were disenfranchised by the process and no legitimate election
took place.

How can you want an illegitimate, defunct election to count---when most of the candidates
weren't even on the ballot--because they were told to take their names off the ballot.

This is so outrageous. It's such a disgrace that any Democrat would lobby to legitimize
the illegitimate.

Michigan Democrats deserve better. They deserve to vote and to have their voices count.
Unfortunately, their Michigan leaders are playing games with them.

Have a legitimate election and allow those voters to be heard. Do not disenfranchise them
by counting an election that was illegitimate---and left out many.

This is just so beyond the pale.
