So what is Up With Michigan and Florida?

[Bullet1987]

Is that whole issue officially over now? There was talk yesterday that there won't be a re-vote now...is that official or is it just looking that grim (for the Clinton campaign at least)?

1. I can't say for sure about Michigan, but Florida's a dead issue for now. n/t

2. Yes, it's over.

State leadership has decided not to do it, so no dice.

How their delegates will be handled is still up in the air.

3. Looks as though they will both be "Red" come november.

4. It looks very unlikely that state-run primaries will be held

They would require legislative approval as well as substantial funding, and neither seem to be there. There is still the potential of party run caucuses or party run primaries, but both have obstacles. Clinton objects to caucuses, and party run primaries have logistical issues. At this point I think the only thing that has any potential would be an in-person party run primary, probably with old fashioned paper ballots as there is no way they could get voting machines in time. So long as both candidates can have representatives present during all the counting, there really should not be any objection to the auditing process. The biggest obstacles would be securing polling places, notifying voters of those polling places, and of course funding.
