(AP) Michigan Democrats officially have declared they won't hold a do-over presidential primary.
Members of the state party's executive committee issued a statement Friday saying "we have concluded that it is not practical" to conduct a party-run primary or caucus as a way to get the state's Democratic National Convention delegates seated.
