WASHINGTON - A Democratic Party rules committee has the authority to seat some delegates from Michigan and Florida but not fully restore the two states as Hillary Rodham Clinton wants, according to party lawyers.
Democratic National Committee rules require that the two states lose at least half of their convention delegates for holding elections too early, the party's legal experts wrote in a 38-page memo.
The memo was sent late Tuesday to the 30 members of the party's Rules and Bylaws Committee, which plans to meet Saturday at a Washington hotel. The committee is considering ways to include the two important general election battlegrounds at the nominating convention in August, and the staff analysis says seating half the delegates is "as far as it legally can" go.

Hillary is about what Hillary wants, not about what is best for the party or country. I swear after how she has conducted herself I won't vote if she "wins" the nomination. I just can't vote for this selfish ruthless person. I think she has more than one screw loose.

So this means that regardless of the DNC determination Hillary isn't in a good position here. I agree Cosmo, we've had more than enough time to fix our voting system but they've purposely let the clock run out.
