53. I understand where you're coming from
Splitting the delegates really is similar to not counting the votes, which is why it's a good option (in my opinion). So split them 50/50 to take away any advantage, while still giving MI and FL a voice at the convention. Of course it's possible, but not likely at this point, that by adding 50% of MI and FL to the delegate totals, one of them will reach 2,025, but MI and FL will have lost their right to actually make an actual choice, which unfortunately, barring a new election, is what needs to happen - otherwise we'll see even more states moving up their primaries.
