Doesn't seem fair to the taxpayer and I would most probably truly not vote for a Dem then.
I just wonder why the GOP didn't make such an issue out of all this.

Political parties have rules and procedures like any comparable institution. If you dont play by the rules, you pay the price.
If FL and MI choose to have a caucus to replace the unsanctioned primaries, there is no cost to taxpayers. Caucuses are administered by the party; they tally the votes, and in some states, even pay rent for the caucus meeting space.
The Republicans are facing a similar issue in MI (not that it matters anymore), but they forfeited half of their delegates for their unsanctioned primary.
