Michigan Deserves to Count

The following are key arguments that I believe support a Michigan Presidential Caucus.

ARGUMENTS:

(1) Michigan deserves to have clout in this election. So long as our delegates do not count, Michiganders do not have clout.

(2) Our 128 delegates could be decisive. The race for delegates is expected to be very close at the time of the convention, with both candidates near, but not at, a majority. Michigan could tip the balance.

(3) Michiganders deserve to see the primary candidates up close and hear the candidates debate the issues that matter in Michigan, like the health of the Great Lakes and the loss of manufacturing jobs. Michiganders will not have this opportunity if January's results stand.

(4) Michigan voters deserve to be able to choose between all of the candidates. Most of the candidates names were removed from Michigan's ballot, and "Uncommitted" won the "youth vote," the "black vote," and over 40% (200,000) of the overall votes.

(5) Michigan deserves to have our delegates seated at the Democratic National Convention. As it stands, the DNC will reject the delegates distributed at Michigan's January 15 Primary because Michigan advanced the date of our Primary in defiance of DNC rules. They will restore our delegation's voting credentials if and only if we hold a caucus.

(6) Whichever candidate wins the nomination, they must win Michigan to win the presidency. The opportunity to campaign in Michigan prior to the nominating convention would strengthen the nominee with Michigan voters.

No she did not technically win! Barack thought I wouldn't and didn't put his name on the ballot...the only reason why Thousands of people who wanted their voice to be heard didn't bother going! Technically try a re-vote would only be fair...The people of Michigan would have the last ....as u say..LMAO

she'll loose and you were warned by a person who wanted a voice here. She's just just been playing a hand that she know's won't win. I give her credit for trying though...lmao

I agree with you sir!

She technically won. She beat nobody 55-40. For some reason nobody got 40% of the vote! LMAO

Nice work.

I'm with a protest and holding a caucus for Michigan if Hillary attempts to lay stake and claim to the majority of elected delegate votes here. I'm hoping she's not going to play that low yet it looks like she is. If she wants to play dirty with the people of Michigan...she'll loose this for sure.

Hillary Clinton did not win the primary in Michigan!

I wish the main stream media would STOP saying that.
