“The issue I read out of this is the states are all getting into the contest”

While partially correct, you are reading this WRONG....

Nevada, then Michigan are DEMOCRAT-MACHINE controlled states

Thanks....
And it says a LOT about this article, as well...

The very same people who screamed “COUNT EVERY VOTE!!” freely give a pass to something approching borderline totalitarianism...

Rare good move by the DNC. It is time to stop this madness of having primaries up to 11 months before the election (as Iowa may have to do).

If only they were to enforce this upon all states. Iowa and New Hampshire shouldn’t get a special exemption either.

You miss the point...

The NEvada and Michigan primaries were moved up to give Hillary early victories in MAchine/Union controlled states.

Florida moving up puts a real wrench into that plan, and a LOT of money is riding on Hillary’s inevitability...

My understanding is this affects only the Democratic Delegates at the their convention.

“The NEvada and Michigan primaries were moved up to give Hillary early victories in MAchine/Union controlled states.”

The DNC hasn’t approved the Jan 15th Michigan primary date.

Michigan Republicans wanted Feb 5th but said they would go with the earlier date that the RATS insisted on.

If Fla RATS are stuck with Jan 29th, and the Michigan RATS go ahead and stick to the Jan 15th date, I doubt the DNC will dare strip both states of all delegates.

If they do it will definitely be popcorn time at the RAT convention!

I sure hope all those who scream “3rd party” are paying attention to this because this is just the beginning if Hillary is elected!
