In a situation like this logic would dictate that the person with the most votes and the most delegates should win the nomination. Unfortunately there is no tiebreaker mechanism in place the way there is when nobody gets an electoral college majority.
Well there is technically a tie breaker in place and that is the super delegates. It is actually reason they exist.

That said I think all states should count and all votes should be taken first and I think its the super delegates job to sit down look at all facts and decide who is more electable in GE based on what all 50 states showed and what is needed in the GE to get the nomination.

Remember if you redo MI and FL then it opens up the possibility of someone getting enough pledged delegates without needing the super delegates. Though it would be tough for either to make that happen but it would make it plausible.
