Land mass should not control voting value. One person = one vote. People who live in less populated states should not have votes worth more that people in highly populated states.



People who think they are smart, believe it.

Would you like to eliminate the 1st Amendment of the Constitution ?
How did this country get it's beginnings ?

The United States emerged directly from the land mass of North America, without any human agency or involvement.

That's why there's an Electoral College. Real Estate rules. One acre, one vote.

Texas allows online or over the phone voting in local elections? Show me. No way this is happening... at least, I hope it's not... that would be totally insane.

Raydar, actually I do care. Passionately.

I think it's more correct to say that the Electoral College system, and the general way in which the nation's elected representatives are districted at the state and federal level, and the Senate's allocation of two U.S. Senators from every state, all work in concert to give the people who live outside of the major population centers an electoral weighting that deviates the nation's politics and governance from a more rational approach to the realization of the Constitution's "general welfare" clause.



Ah yes ! The General Welfare clause. Which should be named the "it's for your own good" clause. It was not written by the Founding Fathers. The King of England tried that.

rinselberg, , oh my.
There you go again. Thinking. Just how much wrong is in your post ?

The Senate does not allocate the amount of Senators from every State. It is also not done at the Federal level. There are alot of things MNSBC does not want you to know,

14th amendment

No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice-President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any State, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any State legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any State, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

not only your rump but also about 1/2 of the dc Gop reps
aid or comfort how many here did that

sorry I did not vote for that law
but it needs to apply HARD TO THE RUMPERS
