Florida, Michigan votes restored

Florida, Michigan votes restored

They said they wouldn’t do it... But they did.

Democratic delegates from Michigan and Florida were awarded full voting rights at the national convention Sunday, despite holding early primaries against party rules in another bid to restore party unity.

On Sunday, the national party's rules committee agreed to restore full voting privileges to delegates from Michigan and Florida, ending a rancorous debate over when states can schedule their primaries.

The two parties were initially told last August that they couldn't send delegates to the convention at all because they held their primaries before February 5. Then they backed up and restored the delegates in May, but gave then only half votes.
