1. There won't be a "re-run", the United States of America has voted and Donald Trump won.
2. Hillary could have won all 6 states if she had just worked as hard as Donald Trump did, she didn't and lost.
she didnt even have to work as hard as trump did. all she needed to do is get into the hardcore democrat strong holds and get out the vote. she never even campaigned much in those areas, and they felt ignored by her.
Think about it with common sense, how is it fair that a candidate wins by like 1% in several swing states and then carries all of their electoral votes while losing the national popular vote heavily?
There should be a re-run and if the margin is still less than 2.0%, the state should be seen as evenly split and half of each side should participate as electors for that state. That is the only way to make it fair!
The 6 states that should have a run off are:
Florida
Pennsylvania
Michigan
Wisconsin
Minnesota
New Hampshire
Candidates with more than 5.0% of the votes should be allowed to participate the run off, so only Hillary Clinton and Donald Trump will be on the ballot since Gary Johnson didn't get at least 5.0% in any of these states.
The re-run should be one month from Election Day so candidates can focus campaigning in just those 6 states for a month!
Perhaps it would be more constructive for those that are having a difficult time accepting Hillary's defeat to form a private group where they can mourn peacefully until 2020, although I foresee that not going well for the Dems either.
As we know, the Democrats that supported Hillary care nothing about rules, laws, our Constitution or the majority of Americans.
Hillary defeated herself over about 3 decades and took the final blows in the last 2 or 3 months of her weak campaign. "Reaping what she had sown" was appropriate.
OP, Hillary Clinton lost. It is over. The people have spoken. The old couldn't even buy or cheat her way to the win. I doubt she would have enough money to try to buy her way into a 2nd election.
We have a system in place approved by the people. Hillary Clinton defeated herself in 2016. Having had her butt hit the curb in 2008, using common sense, it was not likely that she would win as she was not like fine wine improving over time but more like roadkill that had been laying around way too long.
OP are you really serious about what you are posting?
I like OP's idea, but it does not go far enough. There should be a run-off in states where no one exceeded 65% of the popular vote. If no candidates exceed 65% on the run-off they should be disqualified and a new general election held with the second most popular candidates from each parties primaries. If no one rises to the top out of this, then the top 3 can duel it out in a cage match until one emerges the victor.
The loser (Hillary Clinton) should have just campaigned harder in those states during the campaign, Donald Trump (the winner) campaigned harder than Hillary and her entire campaign could have ever dreamed of. He won, he deserved to win, he worked harder for it and he earned the victory.
And not insult people who are usually natural Democrats but were somewhat on the fence and/or disengaged this year. Oh, and not telling a group of people she's going to make sure they lose their jobs.
