The DNC has stripped Florida and Michigan of their delegates at the Denver Convention. Here is a quick recap of how it happened:
Florida has 210 pledged, and 28 super delegates. Michigan has 156 pledged, and 25 super delegates. The DNC Convention web-site says this about their status: "The state of Florida/Michigan is subject to a 100% delegate reduction for violating National Party delegate selection rules."
Now that Hillary has stated that she intends to fight all the way to Denver, and in light of the Democrat Party's heavy emphasis on voter enfranchisement, does anyone think they will really disenfranchise these two highly populous states, and what would it mean for the convention?

The Democratic National Committee said it would refuse to seat a state's delegation at the convention if a state other than Iowa, New Hampshire, South Carolina, or Nevada held its primary or caucus before Super Tuesday (Feb. 5). Florida and Michigan party leaders attempted to defy that order by proceeding to hold their primaries in January. The DNC is holding firm in its position, and now those two states are faced with the possibility of having no voice at the convention.
