I think the main issue is that everyone who did vote should have the right to have their vote count. And in the election they do vote for the delegates they want. I personally think it was a little out there to punish them for holding an election too early.

Further, I do think it matters when you look at how close the democratic race is and how just a few delegates could make the difference in who takes the nomination for the fall election.

It does seem like in the end our vote (popular vote) doesn't count but when you add in our votes for the delegates it does. Now, if you talking super delegates, then in the end, no it doesn't count. Confusing huh? I am still trying to figure out the difference between a primary and a caucus. haha

I think all elections should be based on popular vote and that delgates and super delagates should be wiped out. But, it is not going to happen.
