Justice would not be served by having the votes as they were cast, counted directly in MI and FL, because in one state Obama never campaigned and in the other he not only did not campaign but he had his name taken off the ballot in compliance with the party's wishes. The DNC has thus put itself in a position of running an injust, non-democratic primary.

But this is not a federal or state issue, it is a DNC issue. The voters may be pissed off, but unless I am mistaken, their voting franchise does not obligate the various parties to include or exclude them one way or the other in its process of selecting a candidate. Helping select a candidate is not the same as voting in an election between selected candidates, clearly.

Regardless, I would be irate at the DNC if I were a FLoridian who got lured off base by this twist. I suppose they could conduct wide, massive polls in both states and do a percentage split on that basis. Cheaper than a caucus.
