Democrats in standoff over Florida and Michigan
I think counting the delegates now would be changing the rules in the middle of the game.
Those states were told by the national party not to move their primaries, or their delegates would not count. I don't think that's fair to those states' voters, but that's what their state party leaders decided to do, so their delegates do not count. Changing it now would not be fair to the candidates who did not put their names on the ballot in the states that do not count, or to the voters who stayed home becasue they knew their votes would not count.
It's a fucked up situation, but everyone knew the rules going into it, and I don't think they should change it now.More of the same: Renger\'s Rantings
