FL, MI - Once Too Cool For School, Now Seek Others to Pay

A mail-in election?

With 20/20 hindsight, DNC perhaps should have penalized FL, MI some specified number of delegates for every day ahead of super-Tuesday that they moved their election, and wiped out the super-delegates altogether (as added "super"-disincentive).

That way, they would have participated, but at the reduced levels of their choosing/making.
Another chance for Republicans to vote for Hillary, as spoilers? Some of them, maybe, even for a second time?

Seating a bunch of "super-delegates", when it was their own State party that decided that they should push around the rest of the us?

Having partisan supporters pay for an election?

I'm all for energizing Florida and Michigan, but ... the good ways to handle this have all gone by, right?
