Clinton Wins Shift Focus to Fla., Mich.

Submitted by carol, Mar 10, 2008 11:35

I have been reading over and over on this site and others, about the florida and michigan problem with voting. First, Both candidites were on the fla ballots, so that should stay the same and no revote in that state, but sense Mr. obama did NOT have his name on the Mi ballot ( due to following dem rules) there should only be a re-election in Michigan.

Now, if michigan can't afford a re-vote, I think its the dem party who should pay for that state's re-election. don;t you?

Mail in ballots are very risky,. There is no secuity in that. I'd sure wonder if my ballot ever got to where it should go, or if someone interferred with the ballots. So, too me a caucus sounds much better.

It's a shame were even going thru this, but these 2 states were warned.... and in the end, really shouldn't be counted at all.
