MI and FL reinstated representation at 50%

The DNC (Democratic National Committee) just voted to seat all of the Florida and Michigan delegates at the convention, but to only provide them 1/2 a vote each.  This improves upon the original disenfranchising of these states' votes as punishment for moving their primaries forward in violation of the parties rules.  The debate on the topic was heated, but the final resolution was a consistent ruling for both states involved and preserved some form of punishment for violating the original rules.  The big losers in all this are the actual voters who have witnessed the gross stratification of power between common folk and super-delegates.
