If it is was "always assumed" that the delegates would be seated, then it would seem that those states would have had slates of delegates filed and ready to attend in the first place. But that isn't the case:

  • Both states were stripped of their delegates by the Democratic National Committee because, defying its orders, they scheduled their primaries early.

    To further complicate the mess, candidates didn't file delegate slates because they were told the votes wouldn't matter.

    So it's unclear how delegates would even be chosen


So, there aren't even delegates to be seated, even though it was "always assumed" that they would be in the end.

Funny about that.
