Both states, knowing full & well what the consequences would be if they moved up their primaries, decided to move their primaries up in the calendar year thereby rendering their delegates null and void. Why should the DNC let them have the option of having another primary where the delegates can count, basically rewarding them for choosing to move up their primary? In Michigan, this also penalizes those people who took the DNC at their word and exercised their vote on the Republican side where it counted. If they don't let those people vote, but let everyone else who voted vote, they're punishing them. I'm of the opinion that the DNC should just tell both states that they basically made their beds, now lie in them. The choose to move their primaries up knowing that they would lose their delegates in the process. So be it. Why they’re even considering having these do-over primaries is beyond me.

This time Florida thought it would be a good idea to start at the primaries instead of waiting until the last minute. Well I think we already have one.
