Poll question: If the nominee is not dependent upon the delegates from MI or FL,
Would you like to see them seated.

For instance, Hillary has more than enough delegates to win would you have a problem with the delegates being seated.

Same situation with Obama, the delegate count is already in his favor beyond these delegates and no brokered convention or the like will happen.

Would you like to see those delegates seated?

In the case of MI, there would be a portion delegates for undecided who could then vote at the convention.

1. Front loaded primaries in general are a stupid, corrupt idea.
Front loaded primaries that violate the known rules do not deserve to be acknowledged at all. Especially when the candidate who "won" an uncontested primary is NOW trying to make it count, because she's in trouble.

2. No, because in one case only one person was on the ballot
and in the other case, no campaigning was done and their voters were not inspired to come out.

3. Not answering the poll, because none of the answers suit me
It would be unfair to seat the MI delegates, because not all of the candidates were on the ballot. As far as FL goes, I'll leave that up to the DNC. It's their convention.
