Michigan Dems accept plan for delegates to be seated at conventionPosted: 10:39 AM ET
(CNN) - Michigan's Democrats have accepted a compromise proposal in their latest attempt to ensure their state will be represented at this summer's Democratic National Convention, CNN has confirmed. The state party has voted to sign on to a plan devised a week-and-a-half ago by the working group seeking ways to end the impasse. The state was stripped of its delegates by the Democratic National Committee (DNC) for moving up the date of its primary. The working group urged the DNC to seat the Michigan delegation at this summer's convention under a formula that would give a 10-delegate edge to Hillary Clinton, and allow all 157 delegates and superdelegates to be seated. – From CNN Associate Political Editor Rebecca Sinderbrand |
