No matter who you want as President, all votes should count right?

I agree, and the whole purpose of the primaries on based on who the majority of the people of the United States want to continue on to the General Election. If you don't count the citizen's votes in any 2 states this makes the results inaccurate and the whole primary invalid.

You may be able to convince me with Florida, but not Michigan. Obama was not on that ballot and Clinton agreed early on that that state's votes should not count.

On the other side, we are a nation of rules. These two states behaved in a foolish manner. Should that be rewarded? If we seat all those delegates, what would hold other states back from randomly changing their primary dates? The next election cycle could be a mess...

They knew the rules when Florida and Michigan originally decided to break them by having their primaries before the Feb 1 cutoff date. I do NOT agree that those two states should now allow their delegates to be seated because they KNOWINGLY BROKE THE RULES. If the Democratic party decides now to change the rules in mid game, then THEY are in the wrong too. The people of those 2 states will be able to have their say in November.

So tired of hearing about Fla and Mich... When you have ONLY one candidate on the ballots who do YOU think will get the most votes??? You Hillary people are really digging hard to gain something that has never been part of the equation... This is for the Democratic nomination, not a sporting event where they move the tee boxes up to give women a chance to compete.. It's not the work place either where the rules are adjusted to make it easier for a woman to get ahead.. You people need to quit grasping at straws and just accept the outcome... This is getting to become pathetic! Give it up already... geez!!! You women just don't get it.. she lost! Why continue to make fools of yourselves?

dude hillary doesnt really give a damn about Florida and michigan getting their vote heard. she is desperate for the nomination and if she had already wrapped up the nomination she wouldn't be hanging on and whining about these 2 states. basically, if she was front runner and everything was the other way around she would tell ur state to **** off and follow the rules next time. but since its her only chance she is fighting 4 it tooth and nail.

ur state knew the rules. they broke them and they knew the consequences. we don't go bending the rules for the mighty clintons...sry better luck nxt time.

No one is being disenfranchised. The government isn't ignoring votes - the Democrat Party is. Primaries are just political party contests to nominate candidates for the general election. Your vote will count in the general election.

Both states were told not to place primaries in January, and they went ahead and did so. Candidates did not campaign there. So why should the results all of a sudden count? That's not the right thing to do, and unfair to everyone.

If I lived in one of those states and voted Democratic, I would be very upset with my state party for breaking the rules and disenfranchising me.

Only those who states did not break the rules. Hillary didnt care about those votes either until she started losing.

Anderson Cooper recently played a radio feed of Hillary Clinton saying that the Michigan primary doesn't count for anything. This is a demonstration that her current claims about fighting for civil rights are based only on self-interest.

MI and FL should be represented at the convention. There's wide agreement about that. Question is, how many delegates should each candidate receive? And how does one figure that out? I don't know what would be fair. What do you think?

YES Democracy used to mean all votes counted for something, but I guess that only means if you want Obama for President.

I hope Hillary whops his BEE-hind.
