Michigan Re-Vote Also in Doubt

Lansing (WWJ) —It’s appearing more and more likely there will not be a re-do of the Democratic presidential primary election.  WWJ Lansing Bureau Chief Tim Skubick reports state Senate Democrats came out of a closed door meeting Tuesday morning and said there are not enough votes to approve a re-do. 

Legislative approval is necessary for a re-vote to happen…

“A re-vote is the only way Michigan can be assured its delegation will be seated, and vote in Denver’ at the party’s national convention this summer, Clinton campaign aide Harold Ickes said Monday.  “If the Obama campaign thwarts a fair election process for the people of Michigan, it will jeopardize the Democratic nominee’s ability to carry the state in the general election.’‘

No word from Ickes on the state of affairs in Florida, where the idea of a re-vote is as dead as Generalisimo Fransisco Franco, nor on the efficacy of “Every Vote Should Count!” the meme echoed by Democrats when they at a loss for legitimate ballots.  The questions now seem come down to how is the impasse to be passed… and who will file the first lawsuit.
