DNC lawyers: Half is as best we can do

Florida Dems have said they hope to seat at least half of Florida's delegation at the nominating convention and that's as far as lawyers for the national party say they can go.

DNC rules require that Florida and Michigan lose at least half of their convention delegates for holding elections too early, the party's legal experts wrote in a 38-page memo, the Associated Press reports.

The memo was sent late Tuesday to the 30 members of the party's rules and bylaws committee, which is to meet Saturday in Washington to figure out what to do with Florida and Michigan.
