Michigan primary ruling relates only to distribution of voter lists - nothing about revotes

[powergirl]

As excited as some supporters may be about the ruling declaring a law about the Michigan primary unconstitutional, please read the ENTIRE story.

"The only immediate practical effect of the ruling was to bar the Secretary of State's office from sending the list to the parties on Wednesday, the deadline for turning it over under state law."

"Edmunds, the American Civil Liberties Union lawyers who won the case and the state's top election manager all agreed that the ruling had no practical impact on the 2008 presidential campaign. "Nothing I'm going to say or do" affects the results of the Jan. 15 vote, Edmunds said. "That's the political reality."

But the ruling likely further damages the already small hope that the Democratic Party would honor the Jan. 15 results. It is unlikely that national Democratic officials would relent in their opposition to seating delegates based on a disputed vote that has now been declared flawed under the constitution."
