None of the votes should
EVER count for either candidate in Florida or Michigan, all the democratic nominee's signed an agreement with the DNP
promising they won't campaign in those to states and
ACKNOWLEDGING that the votes from those two states won't count.
Hillary willfully signed the agreement,
AGREEING that the votes won't count due to the party rules they broke!
Please watch this video!
Hillary Accepted & Signed the DNC rules Barring MI & FL !
Those votes shouldn't count!
And if you still want more reasons why those votes shouldn't be counted.
How The Clintons Would Disenfranchise Florida And Michigan
Voters
The Clintons repeatedly say, when making their "count Florida and Michigan" argument that 2.3 million voters cast ballots in these States, and
Hillary often adds that the 1.7 million turnout in Florida was the highest ever for a Democratic primary. Sounds impressive. But guess what? I
compared the number of persons who cast ballots this year in each of the other top ten States to the number of persons who voted for John Kerry in the
2004 general election. In every single State where both candidates campaigned -- meaning every State but New York, which Obama ceded to Hillary and
Illinois, which Hillary ceded to Obama -- the turnout was at least 75% of the Kerry vote. (CA: 75%; TX: 103%; PA: 79%; OH: 85%; NC: 107%; GA: 79%; as
for IL and NY, IL: 70%; NY: 44%).
In contrast, in Michigan, the percentage was a paltry 24% and in Florida the percentage was 44%.
That tells me that counting Michigan and Florida would disenfranchise a large number of voters who did not vote, because there was no
campaigning and/or the voters there thought the contest would not count and so did not bother to vote.
Bottom line, a lot of voters didn't vote because it wasn't going to count!
The delegates can not be given out fairly according to the way the voting turned out because the election wasn't participated by everybody who would
have voted if they knew it WAS going to count!
Hillary just wants to tell them "tough luck", we're going to count them anyway?
Hillary's just clutching at straws!
And as for her having the "popular vote".
Hillary's Popular Vote Notion only 'Popular' with the
Punditocracy
It is incomprehensible to me that Mrs. Clinton can seriously be touting the notion, with the support of the punditocracy of CNN and Fox, that she is
leading in the popular vote and should therefore be seriously considered as the most electable candidate in the November election.
*****SKIP*****
And what about us? What about the American people? Haven't we had enough of Mrs. Clinton's mad antics in her pursuit of the realization of venal
personal ambition; her 'say anything, do anything, no matter what' effort to manipulate our all too willing media to gull this country's populace
into believing that her wretched illegitimacy is indeed legitimate. How much mendacity do we have to suffer, how much brazenness do we have to swallow
before someone, anyone, has the decency, the common sense, to relieve us of this terrible trifle, this pathetic madness?
