Support

• Mara Liasson. “Forfeited Delegates May Get Second Look”. Watching Washington, NPR. February 20, 2008 – “The day before the Florida, primary she told her supporters, ‘I want the voters in Florida to know that I hear them.’

‘Hundreds of thousands of Floridians have already voted, so clearly they are taking this seriously, and they believe their voices are going to be heard and should be counted, and I agree with them,'”

• Julian Bond, chairman of the NAACP, thinks it is a civil rights violation not to seat the the delegates of Florida and Michigan. The grounds of this violation obviously being that it violates the right of citizens to vote.[1]
