Re-votes
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I remember hearing a story on NPR a few months ago, and the reporter said that in one of the states, it might actually be illegal to allow a revote.
What would you do about democrats who voted republican in the primary? In an open primary, you either vote republican or democrat. But if you allow democrats to vote again, probably some of those democrats who crossed the aisle to vote republican (because they knew their votes wouldn't count if they voted for their own party) would want to have another chance to vote, and that is against the rules as well. And if you choose to "disenfranchise" those voters, how much money and time would it take to track down those voters and make sure they don't vote in the democratic party.
I'm pretty sure it is Florida. I don't know if Michigan has an open primary. To be honest, I feel sorry for Michigan. Unlike Florida, I think their party leadership chose the earlier date to bring attention to all of their economic woes.
