The election went, Hillary won (no surprise, she had no competition really) and the delegates don't count. Now Hillary wants those delegates but Obama is saying that isn't fair since he was barred from even campaigning in Florida. Since it is so close Florida could have a big impact so now they are thinking of holding the election again only this time with both candidates there and this time the delegates actually count.
pretty much the same thing happened here in Michigan. I mean really its all because New Hampshire was crying about not being the first primary of the election because it will hurts their tourism. I don't know about florida but Michigan did it because well this is about the time we usually have our primary and well its fucking cold here and there is 8 to 10 inches of snow on the ground with 5 to 10 more coming which is usually for us it sucks here at the end of feb beginning of march so the state thought for the elderly and handicapped and well everybody it would be better to do it when the weather wouldn't hinder people from going out to vote pretty smart and reasonable if you ask me. So who is should be blamed? Michigan and Florida or New Hampshire and DNC for being more worried about tourism and money then who is running our country?
