Their votes will not count during the run up to the Presidential election. The Democratic party ripped their votes away, because Michigan decided to hold it&#8217;s primary in January, because party rules, prohibit states other than New Hampshire, Iowa, Nevada and South Carolina from having their primaries prior to February.<\/p>\n<p>When Florida scheduled its primary early, the Democrats, punished them too.<br \/>\nWhat the Hell?<\/p>\n<p>I thought Democrats were against disenfranchisement unless the denied voters were members of the military&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Aren&#8217;t the votes of Floridians and whatever you call people from Michigan valuable? I&#8217;m sure the DNC will want those votes in November. Hell, were I a democrat in Florida or Michigan and my vote was taken, I&#8217;d be livid. I wouldn&#8217;t stand for this. This might even encourage people to throw their votes to the Republicans out of spite.<\/p>\n<p>Spiteful votes work too, I&#8217;m sure whoever the Republican candidate turns out to be will welcome them.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Michigan Democrats have been disenfranchised by their party.
