There is still a lot of controversy over what to do with Michigan in regards to holding a new contest. I know Hillary is generally against caucuses, but that is what Michigan was originally planning to do before going to a Primary. Why not just go back to the old rules , which seem pretty fair to me: Internet voting: 30-day application period prior to caucus day; one or more weeks voting period prior...

The following are key arguments that I believe support a Michigan Presidential Caucus. ARGUMENTS: (1) Michigan deserves to have clout in this election.
