1. They should not be counted.

They were not contested and all the candidates said they would not campaign in them. Had they been contested, the outcomes might have been different.

At this point, it is pretty plain that MI and FL will not be counted based on what happened in their non-sanctioned events. Some other arrangement will have to be made. That negates what happened, including any votes.

2. Anyone who counts MI and FL is delusional

We were told our votes wouldn't count towards delegates. Many of us stayed home. Please don't tell us you you are changing the rules now.

3. Seems right, since MI and FL in fact don't count.

4. His name was not even on the MI ballot.

You can not count that.

There was no campaigning done in FL, so those votes are not reflective of the public either.

5. No, the fl and Mi primaries should not be counted (per agreement of Hillary/obama) but even

if they were, by Wednesday i suspect Obama will have more popular votes regardless.

6. The numbers you get from caucuses...

reflect state delegates and not actual voter numbers... Most caucus states don't release a number for popular votes.

7. You neglected to mention that IA, ME, WA and NV have yet to report their totals.
