Solution to the Florida Michigan Debacle

The argument was made a very long time ago that Florida and Michigan are each a cross section of the US. They felt that they were more important than other states as far as what their vote meant. Nevermind that in both states it was Republicans who decided to cause these problems with the Democratic party.
So, since the idea is that they are a perfect cross section of the people of the US then we will seat their delegates. We will take their delegates and divide them equally among all 56(?) primaries/caucuses. My math comes up with 6.5 delegates per voting district be it state or territory or whatever. DC gets 6.5 and California gets 6.5, so do the upcoming Pennsylvania and Puerto Rico areas. If you wanted to divide them up percentage wise, that would be fine too but I like my 6.5 each better.
