Why is hillary clinton allowed to be the only democrat on the ballot in the michigan primary?

Question

ballod-ballot. sorry folks for the mispelling

Answer 1

Michigan had zero say for the Democratic nomination anyway by violating the party's rules.  The Republican side, lost half of their delegates, too.

Michigan's move only hurt the citizens of Michigan.

Don't blame the candidates, that's just ignorance.

Answer 2

Pretty sure Kucky and one other are.

No delagates; just a popularity contest.

Answer 3

Clinton is not the only Democrat on the ballot.  She is the only Democrat with a prayer of winning who is on the ballot.

This is not an issue of her being "allowed."  All the other Democrats had the same opportunity to be on the Michigan ballot - they just didn't do it or withdrew from the ballot.

The reason she is the only major Democrat on the ballot is this:  Michigan is in a terrible economic condition.  The state powers thought that if they moved their primary election ahead to a date very early in the primary process, it would force the candidates to address Michigan's problems.

However, the National Democratic Party's response was to make good on a threat they had made to prevent such date changes.  They decreed that no Michigan delegates would be recognized at the National Convention when the Presidential candidate is to be selected.  As a result, most Democratic candidates chose not to get involved in the Michigan primary.
