A revote in Michigan and Florida would be a nightmare
There is simply not enough time to hold a credible election before June. If both were small states maybe but we are talking about millions of votes. Florida says it would take them at least 90 days to get any kind of election going on again. There are many ways that disenfranchisement could happen: lost ballots in the mail, people not being aware there is another primary, and a short deadline. There are problems with private individuals instead of the party or state financing an election. If we do have a revote and people still think it was poorly done, that is $30 million down the drain. I say we seat Florida and Michigan with splitting the delegates 50/50 and give them more delegates in 2012.
