Not Necessary?
[Read the article: Michigan, Florida governors want delegates seated]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]Not necessary to give Florida an actual vote? We got denied what the other states have all had - rallies, town meetings, etc. Chances to actually see and listen to the candidates.
Also, many people decided to just skip the whole thing, feeling that their vote didn't really matter. It was not an actual campaign, with ads, calls the whole business, so many people who had not been following the national news closely more than likely went with name familiarity.
The familiar name was Clinton, and if actual time and attention was spent on the ground in the state, her "victory" might have been with less of a margin, if at all. It wasn't a fair test, through no fault of Florida votes, and needs to be re-run if anything is going to be counted at all.

Sham!
[Read the article: Florida's House Dems oppose second primary]
[Read more letters about this article: Here]There ARE NO "results" to be honored, and it is such a sham that the HRC campaign continues to insult our intelligence by pushing that argument. You can't have election results with one name on the ballot.
It is the voters of these states who have been screwed, and the only way to prevent the nonsense by elected officials would have been by mass revolt. That is kind of hard to get going when most people weren't even aware of the games that were being played, or the consequences.
