Obama, Clinton spar over unseated delegates in Michigan, Florida
Summary from multiple countries, from articles in English
WASHINGTON Hundreds of angry voters many of them Clinton campaign volunteers demonstrated outside the Democratic National Committee meeting today, demanding that the party's rules committee honor all the primary votes and pledged delegates from Florida and Michigan. (article 36) The Democratic National Committee's Rules and Bylaws Committee was hearing from the presidential campaigns, state party officials and party members challenging the DNC's decision to strip Florida and Michigan of all delegates to the party's Aug. 25-28 convention. (article 20) At a raucous meeting of the party's rules committee, frequently interrupted by cheers and jeers from Clinton's backers, the panel agreed to seat the delegations from both states but cut their voting power in half. (article 1) Here's the state-by-state breakdown: Seating the full delegation with half votes would net Clinton 9 pledged delegates in Michigan and 19 pledged delegates in Florida for a net gain of 28 pledged delegates in total. (article 38) (Elise Amendola/Asssociated Press) Hillary Clinton is hoping an appeal to a Democratic party rules committee Saturday will revive her campaign to become the party's candidate in November's U.S. presidential election. (article 21) Delegates at the state convention will vote on how many Obama and Clinton delegates will represent Texas in the national convention in Denver. (article 27)
