Should Michigan Sue the DNC?

March 15, 2008

Michigan taxpayers pay for the elections in which Democrats, Republicans, and whomever else has the wherewithal to receive ballot status. This year, the DNC announced rules which treated Michigan different from other early voting states. Some say it clearly violates the 14th amendment, however for the purpose of my argument, it does more to demonstrate the ever present danger of political parties controlling taxpayer money and throwing it away with little regard to how hard we work to get it.

Perhaps The Democrat National Committee should be sued to seat the delegates based on the vote which WAS OFFICIAL in our Michigan primary. I do not care for Hillary, OR Barack, but there were people who regardless of the threat made by the DNC, understood that the primary was PAID for, and ought to be counted. A “Do-Over” adds cost, inconvenience and is impractical, as voters cannot be vetted whether they voted for a Republican or Democrat the first time. (the rules may say they cannot vote in this primary if they voted Republican the first time.) There WILL be cross overs.  It is human nature.

Should Michigan insist on the DNC accepting it’s PAID FOR results? If it cost Michigan taxpayers even ONE THIN DIME to re-do the Democrat primary then YES. If it causes any inconvenience for anyone who has taken the time to already cast their considered vote, then it would be unfair to make them come out again because the DNC is incompetent.
Beyond that, Michigan Democrats should consider whether this is truly the type of representation they need… or want. The DNC and the Michigan Democrat party has failed it’s constituents on a number of levels in just recent history. This is only a SMALL example however, of how short sighted planning and left/liberal action leads to higher costs for all citizens.

    I don’t know if we’ve got a case against the DNC in a court of law but we certainly have one against them in the court of common sense.

    As far as the “one dime” standard, we’re already past that… the House and Senate have been discussing this and talking about doing draft language for a week now. On taxpayer time.

    Our cash is being used to fund this thing even as we speak.
