Make all FL and MI delegates uncommitted

Just an idea to float.

Florida and Michigan broke the rules and don't deserve to have the results of their primaries as part of the DNC.  The results of the primaries do not reflect the actual race, as most candidates didn't even campaign and the voters were pretty sure it was just a preference poll.

However, those states need to be represented on other issues, such as platform.  So... give them their delegates (or half or whatever), but ignore the primaries.  Make all the delegates the equivalent of Superdelegates:  Representing the state and none of them are committed to a candidate.
