Wayne Barrett The Untold Story of How the GOP Rigged Florida and Michigan

http://www.truthout.org/docs_2006/040208M.shtml

Wayne Barrett writes for the Huffington Post: "The Republican role is not some irrelevant anecdote. The DNC is charged, under its rules, to determine whether the Democrats in a noncompliant state made a 'good faith' effort to abide by the party's electoral calendar, and to impose the full weight of its available penalties, namely a 100 percent takedown of a state's delegation, only if Democratic leaders in that state misbehaved.

So the fact that it was Republicans who fomented the move-up of primaries in both these states to dates out-of-line with the DNC calendar is at the heart of the matter."
