So how do you explain the majority of states in the North East? They have relativly smaller populations then other states. They get the same amount of say in the Senate.
Red states win on this issue.
Yeah...there are some where the tables are turned...Texas, for instance.
But look at the population of states...by red and blue...and it is easily seen that the red states gain a huge advantage.

Something agreed on mostly because of the possible impact on slavery.
In any case, the idea of one person/one vote is tough to put aside. And the impact of the disparity on the Electoral College is too much to ignore.

I'd actually like to see the Republican Party continue to be the party of the conservatives...and for it to go back to being the loyal opposition. Conservatives simply cannot lead...they cannot govern. But I want very much for them to be a constant and vigilant check on the liberals.

Why is that even a question of me? Have I given you any reason to suspect I would?
Quote:How would you feel about that?
Not sure...haven't even thought about it.
