No revote for Democrats
Democrats are not going to hold a do-over presidential primary.
The state party’s executive committee said in Lansing that “it is not practical” to conduct a party-run primary or caucus as a way to get the state’s delegates seated at the Democratic National Convention this August in Denver.
Michigan and Florida were stripped of their convention delegates for moving up their primaries before Feb. 5 in defiance of party rules. Florida Democrats already had decided against holding a second primary election.
Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton won the Jan. 15 Michigan primary. Sen. Barack Obama was not on the ballot.
