If MI and FL are not seated or counted, then why is the total delegates needed
not being lowered by the amount "lost" in the MI, FL elections? Why is the amt needed to win the nomination still 2025? Seems to me that if we're not going to count them, then the winning amount should be lower.

Does anyone know?

If MI and FL are seated, the total delegates needed goes up accordingly.

2. Thanks!
Somehow I missed that. I thought the total amount needed to win has always been 2025, even before the FL, MI fiasco came up.
