    super delegates

    That being said, what is the option? It means that the general election didn't decide it, that no candidate won decisively.

    This is what our founding fathers wanted with the electoral college. If there are more than two parties, it typically would force the election into the House of Representatives, which is were the founding fathers really wanted it decided. Heaven forbid the election be decided by the people. Instead, it forces the two-party system.
