The Democratic National Committee Rules and Bylaws Committee voted on Saturday to seat delegations from Michigan and Florida at this year’s national convention. However, delegates will only have half a vote. Michigan and Florida had been stripped of their delegates earlier this year as a penalty for holding their primaries early in violation of DNC rules.

The total number of delegate votes now needed to secure the Democratic nomination for President is 2,118.

As of today, neither Barack Obama nor Hillary Clinton had enough delegates to secure the nomination.
