As the Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee meets today to hash out a solution to the Florida and Michigan primaries debacle, it's worth noting that there were a considerable number of Democratic voters in Florida and Michigan that didn't go to the polls because they were told their primaries wouldn't count: as many as a million voters in Florida and a half million in Michigan. So when the cry goes up that not fully counting the votes in those states is disenfranchising them, ask yourselves what about the voters that didn't vote because they were told the primaries weren't sanctioned.
Everyone was fine with ignoring the primaries in these two states, until the Clinton campaign found itself behind in delegates. Then, it was time to change the rules.
