Nounelections
From Wiktionary under the GNU Free Documentation License. An election is a decision-making process by which a population chooses an individual to hold formal office. This is the usual mechanism by which modern representative democracy fills offices in the legislature, sometimes in the executive and judiciary, and for regional and local government. This process is also used in many other private and business organizations, from clubs to voluntary associations and corporations. The universal use of elections as a tool for selecting representatives in modern democracies is in contrast with the practice in the democratic archetype, ancient Athens. Elections were considered an oligarchic institution and most political offices were filled using sortition, also known as allotment, by which officeholders were chosen by lot. Electoral reform describes the process of introducing fair electoral systems where they are not in place, or improving the fairness or effectiveness of existing systems. Psephology is the study of results and other statistics relating to elections (especially with a view to predicting future results). This article is part of the Politics series Elections

So your party officials know a rule, willfully break it, and you're disenfranchised by who? Why is that the DNC's fault? Sounds more like there was INTENT there by Florida and Michigan DEM reps to willfully reject (or maybe even denounce - wink) the rules at the national level. If it were my State, I'd suck it up and have a discussion with my local reps from the democratic party, asking "what were you thinking!"
