Because Michigan moved its primary up to early in the year over the objections of the DNC, the DNC said they would not honor the vote or the delegates. That’s why there was an agreement between the candidates to not have their names on the ballot and that’s why the primary didn’t count for the convention. It was just a publicity stunt by the Clinton machine to give her
PR points in the media. The uncommitted vote was a protest against Hillary. Hillary didn’t honor her commitment to her own party. If she’s willing to sell out her alleged friends in her own party for personal gain, why would anyone believe she gives a damn about us common folks?
On a side note, because the Democrat election didn’t count and because in Michigan anyone can request either party's ballot regardless of declared party affiliation, Democrats were urged by the far left Daily Kos (funded by George Sorus) to pull a Republican ballot and vote for Romney. The idea is to drag out the Republican primaries and force the candidates to deplete their funds before the general election, thereby helping whoever the Democrat is.
