50. Your state broke the rules, and many in michigan stayed home.
My friends would be some of those very people. They were very pissed, and rightfully so, that your Dem Party fucked it up for you. The candidates (nearly all) removed their names to show support to the DNC on their ruling. Hillary herself stated that the vote - YOUR vote - would not count for anything.

If YOU have an issue with it - you need to take it up with your state dem leaders.

They have submitted a recommendation of a 69-59 split. Still not fair in the state of things, but it's an opportunity for your state to have some delegates, and I would imagine something along those lines will get approved. It's also far better than their votes only counting 50%, IMO.
