  • The 2008 Michigan Democratic presidential primary took place January 15, 2008. Originally, the state had 156 delegates up for grabs that were to be awarded in the following way: 83 delegates were to be awarded based on the winner in each of Michigan's 15 congressional districts while an additional 45 delegates were to be awarded to the statewide winner. Twenty-eight unpledged delegates, known as superdelegates, were initially able to cast their votes at the Democratic National Convention in Denver, Colorado. However, the Democratic National Committee determined that the date of the Michigan Democratic Primary violated the party rules and ultimately decided to sanction the state, stripping all 156 delegates and refusing to seat them at the convention. Despite this, the Michigan Supreme Court ruled that the primary could go ahead as scheduled. The DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee later met on May 31, 2008, and agreed to seat all of Michigan's delegates with each delegate receiving half of a vote. As a result of this compromise, Michigan had 78 votes at the convention. On August 24, the delegates had full voting rights restored. (en)
  • Las primarias presidenciales demócratas de Míchigan de 2008 se llevaron a cabo el 15 de enero de 2008. Originalmente, el estado tenía 156 delegados​ en juego que debían ser otorgados de la siguiente manera: 83 delegados debían ser otorgados según el ganador en cada uno de los 15 distritos congresionales de Míchigan, mientras que 45 delegados adicionales serían otorgados al ganador estatal. Veintiocho delegados no comprometidos, conocidos como superdelegados, inicialmente podían emitir sus votos en la Convención Nacional Demócrata en Denver, Colorado. Sin embargo, el Comité Nacional Demócrata (DNC) determinó que la fecha de las Primarias Demócratas de Míchigan violó las reglas del partido y finalmente decidió sancionar al estado, despojándole de todos los 156 delegados y negándose a colocarlos en la convención. A pesar de esto, la Corte Suprema de Míchigan dictaminó que las primarias podrían continuar según lo programado.​ El Comité de Reglas y Estatutos del DNC se reunió más tarde el 31 de mayo de 2008 y acordó sentar a todos los delegados de Míchigan y cada delegado recibió la mitad de un voto.​ Como resultado de este compromiso, Míchigan tuvo 78 votos en la convención. El 24 de agosto se restableció el pleno derecho de voto de los delegados.​ (es)
