After seeing that California rates a whopping 54 votes and some other entire states being only 3 etc. I was wondering if a balancing should be in order?
For example, anywhere that currently has more than 10 votes should be broken down into voting sections which separates city/urban voting blocks so that it is more representative of all the people in that state, not just the cities overwhelming the wishes of country folk - who are basically disenfranchised by the electoral voting system.
Would this be seen as positive thing in the US? Just thinking out loud.
I am a Brit, too, and I think the system was set up like this originally:
There is a House of Representatives and the number of Representatives relates to the number of people in each state.
There is also a Senate and each states get to have two Senators to represent them there. Originally the state governor would appoint the Senators.
OK, things changed since and now Senators are voted for by the people and there are slight variations in rules between the states.
So the system provides a balance between people and states thus minimising the "democracy is when two wolves and a lamb decide what to have for dinner" issue.
