5. A new election would be the only fair way
The states knew the rules, the candidates agreed to the sanctions, the sham elections that were held were consequently totally skewed because of who wasn't on the ballot and people staying home because they thought, correctly, that the election was meaningless. Why not let Gallup conduct a push poll crafted by the Clinton campaign and use the results of that? Same reason.

And the Florida Republican party couldn't stop the Dems from having that second election if the Democratic Party was willing to pay for it. The problem there is that the states broke the rules so the national party isn't inclined to spend millions of dollars helping them to fix the screw-up. The states broke the rules; nobody disputes that, and if there are no consquences then it's a sure thing that next cycle the primary process will be even more of a clusterf*** than this one.
