Everyone is talking about a "do over" for Florida
what about Michigan?

Or am I listening to the wrong news (always a possibility)?

2. Do over by mail sucks.
But it might be the only plausible option left.

4. Votes must always count!
The people of Michigan and Florida deserve to be heard on this issue, they are people of this country and their votes need to be counted. Now I do not believe that their previous votes should be counted on the other hand, it must be redone. I believe the Candidates should have the opportunity to campaign in both Michigan and Floria, its only fair. We must not show partiality to wards Obama or Clinton, but I do believe those counts must be counted. It would be a real shame to leave thousands of people out in the cold due to political reasons.
The message the Democratic Party would be sending would be very sour to the people of these two states. We must treat all voters with respect, that means counting their votes....

That is my opinion on this matter

6. absolutely right, Erik and a big welcome to DU!
although this wasn't the election that really counts. The problem with a do-over is the cost and the fact that in Michigan, Hillary's name was the only one on the ballot. Rules are rules, though and the local democratic party broke them.

You should take a peek at MadFloridians journal. Being in Florida, this topic is off big interest to him/her? and she has many facts posted on the situation.

This entire situation is very divisive to the Democratic party and needs to be resolved quickly and fairly.

5. Florida at least had a complete ballot.
The michigan results are meaningless since the ballot didn't have anyone but Hillary and Kucinich on it. The voters need to be heard, no doubt, but seating them "as is" is BS.
