Whether it is rules-based or not, the idea of seating pledged delegates at 1/2 while giving supers a full vote is ridiculous on the numbers.
Under that proposal, this is how much of the total vote the "super" part of the delegation would count. Surprisingly, Florida is at the bottom of the table and Michigan looks at the bottom of the second third. The variation among the states is also quite amazing, yes?
