Why not redo the Florida and Michigan primaries?

What if this is undecided in May after all the other primaries?

Hold new primaries in both states in which both candidates campaign and advertise.

That seems most fair to me. What do you think?

1. DNC offered to pay to have Florida conduct caucuses. FL refused

2. I think thats about the only way to handle it

Taking FLA which is a crucial november state and excluding them in unacceptable but so is allowing a result which came after nobody campaigned there..

3. It's very expensive.

It could be done, and would probably be the fairest thing, but I don't know if the states/DNC/state parties can afford it.

4. I think the states would not want the additional expense.

If this is undecided by late May, it seems to me that it would be in the interest of the Democratic Party
to redo these states and they would want to offer to pay for it.

It would be necessary to have a special fundraising effort to generate the dollars.

5. MIchigan would never be able to afford another primary. They're close to rolling up the sidewalks.

8. Florida was offered $800.000 to hold a caucus

they said, "no."

10. Right, but big diff between a caucus and a primary

dont you think?

13. the post-tantrum child was offered a cookie and a hug after time-out

and stuck out its tongue.

9. It's the only fair solution.

Last time I checked, there are still 50 States in the Union. B-)

11. It may be doable if the candidates request it.

and I think they would be making a VERY wise choice to do just that.

12. In the interest of democracy and this party, I hope they do ask. n/t

14. They didn't/don't want to

Hillary was the frontrunner, so not having a contest in two states helped her. Now she can cynically go back and demand she get the delegates alloted to her without an honest fight.
