states paid for it. Right now, it's being suggested that the DNC and the campaigns pay for a revote as if the DNC is to blame for the mess. The blame rests squarely on the shoulders of the state legislators who decided to take risks with their constituents's votes. Either the states pay for a revote or the delegates are not seated. Either way, the state legislatures that sought to circumvent the rules should take the heat with the voters. The Florida state legislature in particular has a shady history of playing fast and loose with the rules from trying to appoint state electors to deny Al Gore the vote in 2000 to their slimy behavior in the Terri Schiavo fiasco. We should not reward bad behavior. If the Florida and Michigan voters are disenfranchised, they will have their own legislators to thank and hopefully they will remember to thank them in the next election cycle.
