Who took their rights in the first place?
Michigan and Florida knew the rules and the consequences when they moved up their primaries. They did this in an attempt to be bigger players in the selection of candidates and now they (and Hillary) are out and about whining about their voices not being heard. It's ironic that having a later primary seems to matter a lot more in the current Democratic primary cycle, but in the end they're asking for all punishment for rule breaking to be lifted because the punishment they knew about in advance is just too harsh for them.
I'm sorry for the people of those states who feel their voices are being ignored this year, but the blame rests with their state officials who broke the rules and moved up their primaries. Would those two governors like to issue blanket pardons for all the other rule/law breakers in their states? I think that's doubtful.
