Michigan delegates seated with a half vote

WASHINGTON (MarketWatch) — The Democratic Party’s rules commmitte voted Saturday to seat the Michigan delegation to the Denver convention at half strength, and give Sen. Hillary Clinton 34.5 votes and Barack Obama 29.5 votes. The committee had voted earlier Saturday to seat Florida’s delegation at half strength as well. The two states had been stripped of all their votes as punishment for holding their primaries early. The Clinton campaign strenously objected to giving Obama delegates based on assumptions about his support among those who voted for an uncommitted slate and those who wrote in his name. Obama’s name was not on the ballot in Michigan.
