Hillary has basically said she won't support a Michigan revote because it would supposedly disenfranchise everyone who voted in the first primary (even though they could easily vote again). Yet she doesn't think no one was disenfranchised by her being the only major candidate on the ballot? That joke of an "election" held in Michigan is about as legitimate as the recent Russian elections. Common sense dictates a revote is the only fair thing, but Hillary instead wants the delegation seated where she holds 80 more delegates than Obama, something which quite obviously doesn't reflect the opinion of the state.

If you think the virtually unopposed election in Michigan should take precendence over a fair revote with all candidates on the ballot, you are no small d democrat. That previous vote was comparable to your typical "election" in a third world dictatorship. Yet that's what Hillary thinks should take precedence.
