The latest proposal for a do-over is for mail-in ballots in both states. And before you get all up in arms about the security of that, keep in mind that Oregon has voted by mail for years.
I actually like this idea because it doesn't disenfranchise the voters. While I agree that selecting one's party's presidential candidate isn't a Constitutionally protected right, I think that in such a hotly contested election as this one, it's the morally correct thing to do to seek the input of all Democrats for the selection of their candidate. And I think that the state parties should have to pay for it so this doesn't happen again.
That being said, I think we need to have a better system for determining who votes when in the primary. What do folks think of a lottery?
