Even as the Clinton campaign lobbies the DNC Rules and By-laws Committee to seat the delegates from the unsanctioned Michigan and Florida primaries, she is simultaneously trying to strip delegates of a Texas county Obama handily won because they held their primary one day late.
Local Clinton supporters advocated Thursday for unseating ALL of the Democratic delegates from Collin County because their senate district conventions were held on the wrong day.
Officials with the Collin County Democratic Party said they chose to hold the convention a day late because there wasn’t a large enough venue in the county available for the scheduled date of Saturday, March 29. Party officials warned at the time that the eligibility of their delegation may be challenged.
Umm, didn’t Michigan and Florida move their entire state primaries up several months for the sole reason of bucking the DNC calendar and getting more media attention?? You can’t have it both ways, Hillary.
