October 15, 20187 yr Fascinating article and these states will have the majority of jobs and income but less representation in the Sentate. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/politics/wp/2018/07/12/in-about-20-years-half-the-population-will-live-in-eight-states/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.ac8daf41dbcf
October 16, 20187 yr Active Members I am starting to think that a a second civil war is not a crazy idea. Will Conservatives allow a reform of the Constitution and the electoral laws to make the USA representation system more democratic? Would let allow eliminating the electoral college and switch to a direct presidential election? Would they accept those necessary adjustments pacifically?
October 17, 20187 yr Active Members No, they will not. The Constitution and electoral college were put in place just so that a populous state or states could not dominate the country. Of course there is a process allowing the change you mention. It is generally long and arduous for a good reason. Best regards, RA1
