RNC Punishes Five States For Early Primaries
In a widely expected move, the Republican National Committee officially announced today that it is stripping half the delegates from five states, as punishment for holding their primaries before February 5: New Hampshire, Florida, South Carolina, Michigan and Wyoming.
Iowa and Nevada escaped sanctions because their early contests will be caucuses, not primaries.
The Democratic National Committee has been even more severe, stripping all the delegates from the offending states.

THE DNC IS NOT PUNISHING NEW HAMPSHIRE OR SOUTH CAROLINA!!!
CORRECTION, PLEASE!
(Sorry for yelling, but it's kind of a big deal.)

How does this effect the results than? If NH and Iowa are the early states but their delegates have no voice at the convention - then why all the focus for the candidates, the candidates can win without Iowa or NH? Just trying to figure the impact of this stuff.
