Our votes should count.  Can't believe Dean is trying to keep this from happening.

I am totally against changing rules midstream.
Strategies were engaged with existing rules.

If this was to be challenged it had to be before results were known.

I think the votes should count the way they were and Clinton should get the delegates both here and in Michigan.

We voted...What right does the National Democratic committee have to violate our constitional right to vote and have it count?  They seem to be as close to communists as anything I can think of...If our votes dont count I will change my party vote in the final election and vote Republican and hope many others do the same..And Mr. Dean just who do you think you are anyways?

I hope this will teach the Democratic party a lesson, the primary should have remained as it was.  The voters of Florida should not be penalized for their stupid decision.  I am a Democrat and am disgusted with what they did.

ARE they kidding?, of course we want out votes to count!...Im outraged at this !.Im an American! is our system corupt? Im a dem, but will not vote for them again!!!!!

I believe that if Florida and Michigan were originally counted out by the Democrats, so be it.  Leave it alone or have a new Primary.  Hillary is just upset because she is losing....boohoo.  Tough luck for her!  And the Republicans are just sitting back laughing at the lies Hillary has been spreading.  Hillary, where did you get the $5M? and what are you afraid of regarding your income taxes????  We want answers now!

I am a disenfranchised former democrat who changed my affiliation to Indepent
when this debacle started.  Wasting tax payers money to hold another primary is utter stupidity and if the DNC wants that then it should pay for it, NOT the taxpayer.
Politics is about compromise and bipartisan relationships, which the present DNC
leadership does not seem to understand.

The original votes should be counted without a re-vote.  The Republican party (legistration) made the change thus the democratic party should not have to face this political issue.  Seems that Florida is always in a political up roar and political termol.

Why did I take off during my lunch hour to go vote. I guess I voted and it didn't even count. Maybe the government should worry about getting gas prices down.

Yes The votes should be counted. I voted that day. My vote has the right to be counted. What big deal is the DATE !! Obama would be asking the same  as Clinton IF he had won!!!Who is kidding who. Noone is fooling the American people.. They know BS when they hear it Huray for Gov. Christ.He knows right from wrong.

sincs christ violated the rules, he should find way to allow florida voters to vote under the rules. he is lying when he blames the dnc.

If our vote doesn't count, we should be exempt from paying taxes until the next election is held in four years.  That would be FAIR!!!

The DNC rules were known before the primary date was changed.  It would have been more responsible and appropriate to change the Florida primary date to 'Super Tuesday'.  I believe a national primary date would benefit all candidates and voters.  I find Sen. Clinton's flip-flop offensive.  In January she indicated she would support the DNC rules but now she doesn't.

I think it is only fair that a "do-over" is permitted or required because a number of voters might not have voted if they thought their vote wouldn't count toward their candidate.

Before the Primary, I called the local office to inquire about Florida Delegates not being seated at the DNC and I was told to vote anyway.  Had I not called, I wouldn't have voted.  I believe this was the case with many Floridians.

Govenor Crist: don't let us Floridians be cheated again in the election process.  The Al Gore situation, hanging chads and the uncounted votes for Kathleen Jennings is too much for your citizens of the state of Florida to take.

ABC Action News: don't let up on this subject, call for a citizen outcry to protect our right to cast our vote.

Thank You Marcy Smith

Yes, I think the states should have a do-over. This has punishing new residents that moved here from other states and now my vote doesn't count. They want people to come out and vote, but they just discouraged young people and minorities in saying what has been said for years..."My vote don't count so why go vote." They need to change people minds about their vote doesn't count because it does! Do the DO-OVER.

I believe the vote should count that were cast on Jan. 29.  The people that took the time and believe in their right to vote, should be counted.  I think Mr. Dean and the other leaders of the Democratic Committee are "power playing".  I don't believe they are supporting their canidate, whom ever it will be, by not reconizing the votes they recieved from these states.

The democrats trying to cheat again?  No more voting, save us the millions it would cost.

I don't think a do-over should be necessary. It wasn't the voters who decided to move the voting date which caused this in the first place. We in Florida voted as we were instructed to do, the rest is just bureaucracy. Our rights have been violated by not counting our votes. We came out in droves to be sure that we were heard, they should take them into count as they stand!
I am very discouraged in the entire process and am realizing that "we the people" really don't matter...I'm not sure why we say we are a democratic Society.
It has become very clear that there needs to be some serious changes made in the way our votes are tallied.
FRUSTRATED IN FLORIDA!

Whether the DNC thinks our votes should count or not is immaterial.  It is a violation of our civil rights and possibly the Constitution of the United States.  It seems pretty clear to me that neither candidate will win the nomination outright without the delegates from both Michigan and Florida.  But to eliminate the votes of over 5 million voters is insidious.  However, it clearly shows the absolute irrationallity of the DNC Chairman, Dean.  The man is a complete idiot wielding his assumed power, but he will literary cause the Democratic Party to lose the election if there is any deals are made to come up with a candidate, and we will have 4 more years of the Republican crap we have endured for the last 8.  I am a registered Republican but I cannot see a "President McClain" as beneficial to this country.

I'm a snowbird from Indiana, and our primary is held so late it doesn't count,
everything has already been decided. Why can't all primarys be held at the same time so all American have a say??????

Thank you

Primaries are private elections held by the two political "clubs".
What ever the club leadership wants to do is OK... It's their club.
For those that don't like whats happening... you can either change your club's leadership or change which club you want to be part of.

No body's rights are being affected here, except those that are not part of either club/party that are forced to pay for an election process even when they do not get a vote.

I'm honestly disgusted about the whole situation. The state of FL pushed up the primary date, not the people. Through to most of us, that alone wasn't a big deal. But we are the ones punished, by our own party, in regards to our votes not counting? I turned out on time to have my vote heard & the democratic party I stand for is basically telling me that they don't want my ( & the rest of us) support. I couldn't wait to do what I could, to insure that our democratic front runner made their way into presidential office. I certainly thought (before all of this) that they had all the right tools that our country needs to better it has a whole & repair much of the damage done by our now worst president (GWB) in history.

But here's the problem on a larger scale & the question that most of us should be truthfully asking ourselves. Being that our democratic front runners have proven that they clearly can't even properly conduct & handle themselves with this one small task, during the primaries, how could they possibly run our country with good results?

Though is saddens me to say this, I now feel that our democratic runners just aren't the people for the job. So when the election comes around, I have no choice but to vote republican because at least they are capable of maintaining themselves during this very small task. Furthermore, under NO circumstances, will not be re-voting for the democratic primary.

The words of a high performance car guy,
Paul

I ALREADY VOTED. IF IT DON'T COUNT I WILL VOTE REPUBLICAN IN NOVEMBER.

I too am very discouraged in our "democratic process".  I think our "political party leaders" (a contradiction in terms)  have an exaggerated sense of their importance.  It would certainly be a violation of our civil rights for Florida and Michigan's votes not to count.  No, we do not need to spend the money for another primary. I agree we should have one national primary date for all states.  We also should do away with these "Super Delegates".  I do not need someone who "supposedly" knows more about politics than I to overide my vote. As for tallying the votes, Polk County has an excellant process of darkening the ovals that is very simple and always provides a paper trail.  I am one Floridian who is ready for a few simple changes that could actually save us a lot of money. Evidently the people we have chosen to represent us can't figure out how.

Florida and Michigan took a risk by moving the date, the DNC warned them and the DNC didn't blink. Now Florida and Michigan must face the consequences. The DNC has no other choice but to hold the line. As a compromise, why not split the delegates from both states and divide them evenly between the candidates, then seat those delegates? The candidates pledged not to campaign to support the DNC. Of course, voters suffer ... but did Florida and Michigan care about that when they took the risk? People should not stand for the state's using tax dollars to pay for another election .... because of the state's misguided actions. Let's get over it and move on. The more Dems get involved in this stuff -- the better for Republicans. Dems have to stop aiming at each other and keep their eyes on the White House prize.

I am ashame, this is not right... something must be done.... Fl votes must be included.

I'm appalled that my vote in the primary was for naught. It is absolutely un-american. I voted, I want it to count!

Our votes should count. I don't think there will be a winner if they don't. Dean's an idiot.

I do not belive it is right that a handful of people who decided to hold the election when they did should be able to make millions of vote from people that didnt want it helt at that time now there vote will not count.  I belive evey persons vote should be able to be counted.

To all that voted. You knew it would not count. That's why you saw no candidates campaigning in Florida. That's why you saw no rally's.  Yes, it is a shame. Yes, something should be done and I have confidence in the DNC that something will be.
I would suggest awarding a small amount of delegates as a compromise. Definitely not enough to decide the candidate. Something like 15 delegates for Michigan and 21 for Florida...split between the candidates (including who was running at the time of the vote). Oh and voting Republican means you support a mindset like Gov. Crist who by the way made all of this possible by signing the bill that moved the date forward.

I am all for another vote only if the people responsible for this mess pay for it. The state party leaders should pay for this or resign. You got arrogant and thought the rules would not be applied to you. Once again a lot of people (state democrats) are paying for a few peoples (state democratic party leaders) mistakes and/or arrogance. Sounds like government at the national level?

We new when the date change occurred that our votes would not be counted.  Forgive me for not remembering, but why did we change the vote in the first place?  I did vote in our primary and I think the way the voters voted should count.  We, the voters have spoken 9when we voted) keep the votes as they are and let them count.  And change our date back to the original!!!

Why did the Republican votes count????? Sounds like the same corrupt Republican
BS as has been in the last 10 years.  Floridians voiced their opinion on which Democratic candidate they chose - so why have a re-election.  We do not need a terriost of Obama B__ L_____ for a democratic candidate.

Hiliary won the previous election, therefore, give the votes to her.

Florida  only wants more and more money from the residents and we are all sick  and tired on this Republican governor who has proved to be more interested in campaigning for John McCain than saving Floridians money/

Our taxes and homeowners insurance payments were to go down prior to his election, but how the lies changed once elected.  The taxes and homeowners insurance only went up - almost doubled.  Isn't that enough to say we do NOT need another republican in office.

Florida screwed up by violating the committee rules. However, instead of spending millions of dollars on a new election, the DNC should just allow the election to stand "as is" and allow the delegates to vote.

We are tax payers just like everyone else in the United States. Our votes SHOULD have counted the first time!! One person should not be allowed to make the decision whether or not our votes should count. While the words Democrat and Republican are different we are still bound by the Declaration of Independence starting with "We the People, of the United States of America."

First of all..who made the decision to move up the date for the primary?  Who made the decision to not allow the votes to be counted?  This is where the blame is.  Also, I am sure some of the above answers is just what the governor wanted to happen.  Sure, jump ship and vote republican...damaging to yourself.  I also agree that if our votes don't count then why should we pay taxes for the year?  And mostly...has Howard Dean ever been a wise man?  I think not!!! He ran for president once and got beat!

I think things should remain as they are and there should be no do-overs for the Democrats. Democrats should learn to get it right the first time and quit whining when things don't go there way. If it were turned around to be the republicans instead of the democrats they wouldn't be whining so much. My suggestion to the democrats is to grow up and accept things the way they are, after all, you democrats need to lose the attitudes, and you already had your chance to vote. IThere should be no do-overs.

Yes, I most certainly do believe that Florida and Michigan should have a Democratic primary do-over or at least let our votes count and give the candidates their delegates. It's only fair, we voted and we want to be counted in. God Bless Governor Crist for taking our side on this very important issue.

Florida knew the rules, they should not be changed.  You have to be accountable for what  was done and they should not have changed the primary date.  Florida is just showing what is wrong with this country.  You do what you want and then just change the rules to fit your needs.

Whether Floridians voted in January or on "Super Tuesday" is irrelevant, our votes should count! Denying our votes being counted is against what the whole process of electing an official is all about. This 'tiff' between national and state Democrats is going to cause some folks to not vote. The big guys can't get their differences worked out, it's no wonder so many people choose not to vote because of the 'politics' in politics.

It is my opinion that our votes do not count whether or not we vote.  It seems to me that our government is not run by We the People.  I believe that our govern-ment is run by the big oil , drug companies and other huge companies,  not to mention all the special interest groups.  Wake up America we (the people) do not have any say so in this socialist society.  Of course this is my opinion, and you know what they say about opinions

You should have offered one more choice for the vote......should our votes from Jan. 29th count as is?......and I say, YES.  The DNN & Dictator Dean need to get their egos under control and not punish the voters because of their petty problems with the FL Dem Party.  We, the voters, (all 1.75 million of us) all voted in good faith in January & want our votes to count.  All candidates' names were on the ballot in FL.  Weren't we disenfranchised enough during the 2000 election?  And can I ask,  what the big deal is about who has their primaries first?  The average voter does not give a flip about that.   This kind of behavior among our so-called leaders of the Dems just perpetuates the national image that we are a bunch of disorganized & confused fools.

People that want the Primary done over should know that it would cost the state about 25 million dollars to do it over. At a time when all the municipalities and the state are trying to cut expenses it seems stupid to do it over. If the Democratic party and the candidates want it that bad after snubbing their nose at this state they should pay to have a primary vote over.

I went to the polling site knowing my vote may not count.  I voted because it is my right as an American.  Any one who didn't vote in the primary lost out because they didn't stand strong for their own right.  I don't want to pay for another primary; I want my original vote to count.  I don't want delegates split between both candidates, because one of them didn't earn the delegates from the Floridians who take their rights seriously.  As far as the DNC, they have no right to decide if individual votes count or not.  For them to think they do is a communistic type of mentality.  I agree with others, that one National Primary should take place.  Imagine the campaign money that would be saved.  Primaries should be held on one date across the nation and the candidates should make sure their calendar includes all the states they hope to win prior to that date.  

Wow...can you imagine how much money would be lost if ALL primaries were held the same day.  All of the TV commercials and etc.  Why does each state have a different policy?  This is a national election.  So, why are the states making the decision?  I say we re-do the whole electing process.  Or, is this the way Big Government has of controlling "We The People"  by dictating to us.  We the voters had no choice in this.  I went to the polls and cast my vote in good faith.  Of course, we are the little people.  

Rules are rules. They changed the dates knowing the risks, now it is time to face the music. I am emberrased to live in Florida. When I got a traffic citation last year I broke the rules and had to pay the price....without a do-over. If people around here would get the head out of thier (beep)'s and get things right the first time, this would not be happening. Sorry Folks, but no do-overs.

WHY NOT HAVE 1 DAY FOR ALL STATE PRIMARIES .THAT WOULD MAKE SURE
THAT EVERY ONE HAS A CHOICE. NOW THE REPUBLICANS IN SOME STATES DO NOT HAVE A CHOICE,THAT DOES NOT SEEM  FAIR!! EVERY ONE IN EVERY STATE SHOULD HAVE A CHOICE WHEN THEY VOTE.

I would like to know who made the decision to have Florida vote early, I wasn't my decision but now I'm punished by either voting again or my vote might not even recognized.  Looks like a waste of time the Florida and Mich. voters.
Looks like Florida is destined to never be counted.  It feels just like our last national election.  

I think that the DNC should be required to accept the votes that MI and FL voters have already cast. We exercised our right to vote- and it is not right for them to tell over 5 million US citizens that they will not count our vote. The votes that FL and MI voters cast should be accepted as is.

Jonathan Michaels, St Petersburg FL

The democrats did not want our votes in January.  Why should we waste more taxpayer's dollars because they need the electorial votes now.

Why should we have to pay to vote again? There are people like me that are about to lose our jobs because of the lose of tax dollars. We don't need to send more tax dollars the first time was good enough for all the other states why is not for us?

Why should there be a do-over? The Democratic Party made its decision. Let them stick with the original count.... This is not an option for 2nd chances. Our government made the decision to move our primary up.....and now we have paid the price... let the Democractic party do the same.

DO OVER IF YOU MUST.  BUT LET US ALLOW OUR DEMOCRATIC CANDIDATES OR THE DEMOCRATIC NATIONAL PARTY TO PAY FOR THE ENTIRE RE VOTE.  AND WHILE THE DEMOCARATS ARE PAYING FOR THINGS, MAYBE THEY CAN BUY AN AMERICAN FLAG FOR THE MALE CANDIDATE - OH, IT'S HARD TO TELL THEM APART - OBAMA THAT IS, TO WEAR WHILE HE IS SPOUTING CRAP AND WANTING TO BE PRESIDENT OF OUR COUNTRY.  HILLARY, TAKE MONICA'S BLUE DRESS, YOUR DIRT BAG HUSBAND AND GO HOME!!!!!!  YOU TWO ALMOST RUINED ARKANSAS (I WAS STATIONED THERE DURING YOUR REIGN), WE SURVIVED HIS PRESIDENTAL TOUR, AND NOW YOU ARE COMING AT US AGAIN.    AND FOR THOSE READING THIS, I AM A REGISTERED DEMOCRAT - BUT NOT FOR LONG.  

Of course I want my vote to count.  A good resolution would be to have another vote and charge the cost of it to the persons who were responsible for changing our primary voting date in the first place.  Rules were in place prior to the change; therefore someone needs to take responsibility to the people of the State of Florida for prohibiting their votes from counting.

There should not be any do-overs. Florida moved up their primary (without asking the people) and should follow the rules set forth by the Democratic Party. We voted in January, and had the delegates scrapped.... oh well. The bed has been made. Live with it

I am ashamed of this Florida state democratic party...They made the choice for all florida democrats to break party rules and now in front of the whole world are trying to avoid the consequences . Other states abided by those rules....Shame on Florida, If it isn't the republicans manulipating the last 2 elections ,its the democrats messing up this one...To the world; this is not the way all Americans are, just a few in Florida. To the Florida State Democratic Committee..YOU no longer represent my views. I want a party I can respect and can be proud of. Any one out there Independent ?

When we Floridians went to the polls, we knew that our votes would not count because we were penalized for moving up our election date. We voted for our satisfaction.  The candidates did not campaign here and the vote tally may have been different if they had.

We should not change the rules because it may favor one candidate over the other. No we should not vote again.  We already have tax problems, we do not need to spend extra millions of dollars. All of our agencies are crying they do not have enough money to function, don't waste it.

Let the Superdelegates vote reflective of their constituency wishes. There problem solved.

YES, I DO THINK EVERY SINGLE VOTE SHOULD COUNT.
WHILE WE ARE ON THE SUBJECT, PLEASE LET THE PUBLIC KNOW WHY THERE IS THIS PROBLEM ANYWAY!
ISN'T IT TRUE THAT THE SECRETARY OF THE STATE, ALONG WITH OUR GOVERNOR, MADE THIS DECISION TO CHANGE THE CALENDAR AROUND?
ISN'T IT ALSO TRUE THAT THEY KNEW IT WAS NOT IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE DNC RULES?  
YES, OUR VOTES SHOULD COUNT, AND GOVERNOR CRIST SHOULD ACCOUNT FOR HIS DECISION AND CORRECT IT HIMSELF INSTEAD OF EXPECTING THE FLORIDA RESIDENTS TO GET HIM OUT OF THIS MESS.  

WHY ARE PEOPLE BLAMING DEAN AND THE DNC.  LET'S PLACE THE BLAME WHERE IT SHOULD BE -SQUARELY ON THE SHOULDERS OF OUR GOVERNOR WHO ALLOWED HIS SECRETARY OF STATE TO PULL THIS "STUNT."
YES, LET OUR VOTES COUNT AND LET CRIST PAY FOR IT - SINCE IS WAS HIS BIG REPUBLICAN IDEA.

I voted on the day they told me to.  I didn't get a vote on what day that was.  Ergo... my vote counts!!!!!
I don't want to vote again, nothing has changed and why spend the money.  I never could understand what difference the day makes.  I voted... it should count.....isn't this America???

Florida Democrats have voted. The DNC is not in a position to legally disenfranchise Florida voters and their "punishment" was constitutionally illegal from the get-go. We wisely ignored the DNC, voted, and now should continue to insist that these votes be counted. No do-over is needed. We have voted.

This should point out the outrageous controls that the current party system has over the citizens' right to vote for the candidate of their choice. The electoral system needs a major overhaul!! How many more elections have to be settled in a court of law before the system is changed?

yes, i believe floridians should be heard and accounted for.
john dean has a problem with everybody but himself.

Why waste more money regardless of who picks up the tab.

the people of florida have spoken in the primary of jan.29th.  this should be taken into account. if the dnc wants florida and michigan to vote again; then they should pay for it.

  No, there shouldn't be another vote, in Florida or Michigan.  Why should we pay 15-20million, because the Gov. had made a decision to change date of the voting, and it wasn't contested at that time.   It is too late for this primary, maybe it should be looked at four years from now, if the democrats don't like it.   Sorry, too late this time.

The reason the Dem primary was moved up was because the FL Republican congress decided to change the date and attach the very important issue of paper trail voting machines to the new voting date.  Democrats had no option but to go along with it if they wanted the Dems to turnout for that paper trail issue.  The DNC needs to get off of their high horse and think of the voters for a change and not just their so-called rules.   The voters are being punished for the idiocy of the leadership of the DNC.  I say throw those bums out and get new leadership for the DNC.  

I think the votes already cast should count. I voted, even if I thought they didn't count in the primary at the time. If a revote is approved, I will vote again. Everyone is supposed to have an equal say in this government... Florida and Michigan don't count???

I think that we are letting party labels and politicians get in the way.  Democrat, Republican or Indepedent we are all citizens of the United States.  It seems to me that all of us have a stake in how much money it takes to exercise our civil rights.  There should be no do-over vote and the votes should be counted.  These rules that everyone seems to be in such a furor over are man-made. It's time we changed some of them.  If we had one National primary date it would certainly cut down on some of the expense of political entertainment.  Speaking of expense.  Who do you think profits more from changing out all the voting machines to touch computer screens?
The elected officials that are getting kick back from the computer companies or the or the computer conglomerates? Anyone who has ever worked with computers knows that the only thing you can always count on with computers is problems.  If you have to have a paper trail, and you do, the  system in Polk County, Florida is simple and reliable.  What more do you need?  I have voted already and will not participate is spending millions more to vote again. It would be ridiculous.

It seems to me that Crist screwed the democrats in Florida. I agree that there should be a re-vote but it should come out of his pocket and he should stop blaming the DNC.

I think that if the Republican party has this much control over the DNC then why not vote for the Republicans!  I didn't have a choice of when I could vote in the primary, but I do have a choice in National Election!  I think if the DNC wants to exclude us then we should exclude them and vote for the more powerful party! This comes from a democratic voter that never missed voting in an election and supported a party that is no longer supporting him!

I can't believe we are considering a redo of the January 29th Primary. I voted as a Democrat, and like so many Florida Democrats, was frustrated with the DMC for stripping our delegates.

I have since switched my party affiliation to Republican. Now the DMC is considering seating those delegates, but they have proposed a redo. Not only would my original vote be discounted, but I won't have the opportunity to vote in a redo since I'm now a Republican.

How many other Florida voters will have lost their vote? The Democratic National Committee will have essentially found a way to keep me from my right to vote.

With Sen. Clinton winning recently in Texas and Ohio, perhaps the DMC is looking for a different result from the original Florida primary, which would provide her many needed delegates. Gov. Crist should not endorse a second primary in any form. I say, "Let the results from January's Primary stand!" Give Florida voters our voice; the voice of the January 29th Primary.

Why not count the vote already cast. that would not cost anything ?

The Democrats are not the ones that changed the primary date in Florida.  The Republicans changed the date.  Get your facts straight.  

Count the votes already cast!  If they proceed with this revote, then West Palm should get to revote from the 2000 election.  Bet they'll shut up REAL fast then!

Strange how we didn't get to vote on whether we wanted this change and our votes to not count.....!!!!  Florida residents didn't change the primary date.  Those that made this change should be fined or penalized.  (Fired might not be a bad idea either)  What with the economy the way it is, paying millions for a re-vote is absolutely assinine.  Neither the state nor the Feds should pay for this.  Count the votes as they are.  NO RE-VOTE...........Make the officials who made this mess pay in some way to prevent this from ever happening in the future.  BUT COUNT THE VOTES AS THEY ARE!!!!!

EVERY VOTE SHOULD COUNT OR OTHERWISE THIS IS NOT THE AMERICA I WAS TAUGHT TO BELIEVE WE WERE.  IN 2001, AMERICANS ALL ACROSS THE COUNTRY WERE HANGING FLAGS OUTSIDE THEIR HOMES AND PLACING PATRIOTIC BUMPER STICKERS ON THEIR CARS.  NOW WE ARE ALL SCARED AND DISCOURAGED.
MY QUESTION IS, WHO IS IT HURTING BY NOT LETTING THESE VOTES COUNT?  ARE THE DNC TRYING TO MANIPULATE THE SYSTEM?  IF THE VOTES DO NOT GET COUNTED, THEN I WILL CHANGE MY VOTE COME NOVEMBER AND VOTE REPUBLICAN FOR THE FIRST TIME IN MY LIFE!!! I BET THAT VOTE WILL COUNT!

My constitutional rights as an American Citizen, born in this country have been taken away twice in the state of Florida just in the voting process.  Once in year 2000 when I did not receive my absentee ballott (which I have been receiving since I moved to Florida in 1988) and did ask for one, and was told I could not get one.  This primary which I did vote in, my constitutional rights were again taken away because they are not counting our votes.  Where does it stop?  Are they taking all our freedoms away?  Sure looks like it.  I believe whoever did win the Florida primary should get the delegates, and whoever won the Michigan Primary should get the delegate votes.  Not split, because the votes were not split in that way.  They should just take numbers not bother with a voting system and do what they want with them because that's how it looks now.  Apparently, we the American people who do vote, are wasting our time, and I don't want to waste time, not this way.  I WANT EACH AND EVERY VOTE COUNTED THE WAY IT WAS ON EACH AND EVERY BALLOTT IN EACH STATE.  For those of US who believe our civil rights are being taken away, we should be able to do something if we stick together, because if we don't it will get worse.  By taking our right to vote away, they (meaning our government) will take another freedom away, one by one.  We need to stop it here before it goes any further.

Florida don't let the committee do this to our constitutional rights as an American and a tax payor!!!!!  I have been voting many years an consider it an honor as an American to do so.  

Florida it doesn't matter what party you are registered with this unconstitutional decision to discount our votes is like third world countries that we have all heard about in the media that are very corrupt.

PLEASE STAND UP AND MAKE YOUR VOICE KNOWN!
