It looks like the DNC’s Rules and Bylaws Committee has gotten half it’s job done:
Jon Ausman, the puckish and bemused Florida DNC member who’s trying to get the Florida delegation seated, is bringing the house down with his challenge — to the extent that any presentation before Rules and Bylaws can bring the house down, of course.
He just wrapped things up, and his final word is this: Seating half the delegates is “acceptable to the challenger.”
That’s shaping up more and more as the likely outcome. The Huffington Post’s Sam Stein cites two sources saying that a deal has already been reached to seat the delegation with each member having half a vote — which would give Hillary a net gain of 19 delegates.
Now, they just have to solve the problem that is Michigan and they can go home.
