Here's a question--what does polling in Michigan and Florida look like NOW?
I'm not good at finding this information, but it WOULD be interesting if public opinion in these states has changed since Hillary has began championing the unusual elections that took place as wins for her...

Or if it hasn't changed at all.

1. Pollsters tend to ignore small-population states and states that have already voted
So I wouldn't bet on finding any info. Besides it's pretty unlikely that they're gonna re-do their primaries.

2. Yes, but Hillary keeps talking about "disenfranchised voters," but I'm sure there
are plenty of folks in these two states (ESPECIALLY in Michigan) who are going to feel equally disenfranchised if Hillary's delegates ARE seated.

5. MI and FL will not be allowed to decide this race.
The DNC might allow their delegates to be seated, but ONLY if it does not affect the outcome. Of that I am 100% certain.

(Don't ask how I can be so sure 'cause otherwise I'll have to fess up to my actual complete ignorance.)

:P

6. I have friends who supported BOTH of them who feel
disenfranchised, and are now refusing to vote in November no matter who the nominee is. About half and half. So, no, it won't just be EX Obama supporters feeling like their votes were unimportant. Plenty on both sides.

3. More people prefer Florida to Michigan.
But then, it's February.

in those states.

8. Can Michigan afford to pay the added expense of a re-vote?
It was my understanding that Michigan pushed up their Primaries in effort to get national attention regarding their maasive loss of industry, housing foreclosures and increased poverty.

Even if they did have the financial means to re-vote; they could not be ready until May.

9. No, Michigan can't afford it. The budget's set, and cast in stone.

The Repukes in this state won't allow it. End of Story. No do-overs allowed.
