Divide Florida/Michigan Delegates Between 48 States that Followed Rules

avatar

Forty eight States out of fifty followed the DNC rules or got waivers.  The voters in these States don't get a 'second chance' or a 'chance to change their minds' by re-voting.

I say take Florida and Michigan's delegates and split them EVENLY across the other 48 States.  Who ever won that State -- gets those Delegates.

There are a total of 366 delegates I believe between the two.  That would give about 7.63 delegates to each State.

At this point, Barack Obama has won 27.  He gets to add 206 to his total.  Hillary Clinton has won 14.  She gets to add 107 rounded up to her total.

Florida and Michigan delegates have been counted.

Problem solved.

This is the most reasonable idea I've seen. Kudos.
