Michigan: Clinton supporter files challenge to exclusion of delegates
Political Diary - WSJ.com
The Wall Street Journal 's Political Diary reports: Yesterday, a key supporter of Hillary Clinton's filed a challenge demanding that the Democratic National Committee seat all of Michigan's pledged delegates – 55% of whom backed Mrs. Clinton in a January primary that Barack Obama didn't participate in and whose results the national Democratic Party has so far refused to recognize.
DNC member Joel Ferguson says Michigan's 128 pledged delegates should be given half a vote each at the Denver convention and its 28 superdelegates – such as himself – should be given a full vote. He says such a settlement would represent a fair punishment for the state's decision to break party rules and hold an early primary.
