Don't confuse me with facts

TPM's Election Central analyzes the turnout in the Florida and Michigan primaries and finds--surprise, surprise--that in this year of record participation in Democratic nominating contests, those two states lagged well behind the rest of the country.

What does this mean? As TPM points out, for one thing, it shows that those primaries were not very representative of the states' voters. Which makes it harder to swallow the Clinton "count every vote" line. Not that that was ever more than political expediency, or should I say desperation?
