They weren't punished as harshly as they should have been (or as harshly as the rules actually called for). The Dem Voters in MI should be pissed at the Michigan Democratic Committee and the FL voters should probably be pissed at the Republicans in their state Senate who kinda forced them to break the rules. Clinton has the popular vote only when you include Michigan, discount the Uncommitted votes from Michigan and don't include popular vote estimates from Iowa, Nevada, Maine or Washington (who haven't release popular vote totals). And, I guess I don't get the point of the post. We know that the delegate count is what matters. We've known that quite clearly for nearly 8 years. MI and FL broke the rules.

If I were a Dem living in MI or FL I would be outraged! Outraged I tell you, at having my right to not be offended violated!
