1. Allocation doesn 't mean seating
They are going through their normal process of delegate allocation, based on their (illicit) primary results--an internal state party function. This does not mean that the national party will seat them.

What a mess.

3. If new primaries aren't held the delegates won't be seated until after the nom has been chosen
That is per my telephone call to the DNC. Only the nominee can move to seat the delegates from Michigan and Florida.

The issue is the superdelegates. If it comes down to superdelegates and it appears that political muscling for Clinton caused her to win as opposed to the delegates voting proportionally with their respective constitutents, then I will not vote democratic in the general. I will write someone in.

4. You know I agree with you
And I believe most Hillary and Obama supporters will probably follow suit.

5. You are spamming the board with the same topic after being corrected.
They will not count.
