How do we distribute the States?

[Demrepdan]

If we distribute the states to their regions by Forum Voters......then we would have to hold a census every so often.......and then go through the difficult process of redistribution of the regions...which would require 2/3 vote from the Senate...as well as the Governor's approvals....

Grouping states by their real life electoral vote is just a plain stupid idea...... and if we make our OWN electoral votes......that would require a CENSUS......read above to understand why a census may not be all too good of an idea.....

I think we should just simply have 10 states per region......if one region is bigger in voters than the other.....then OH WELL.....that's how it is in real life.....Wyoming is a small state...and that's just their misfortune......if we have a small region...then that's just their misfortune. This would be keeping the states analogous to the Regions...

Could you care to explain why? You seem to denounce most plans contrary to your opinions as "stupid."

Real life electoral votes do not effect the Fantasy Election voters or Forum Population in ANYWAY whatsoever......California may have 55 EC in real life....but they have but 3 to 4 members here at the forum.... It's good to keep certain analogies sometimes....but to cross over between real life EC to reflect the FORUM population...is just ridiculous......and the reason I deemed it as being STUPID without giving an explanation as to WHY....is because I thought most people would see the faults in using REAL LIFE Electoral Votes to determine regions...which would undoubtedly misrepresent the people at the forum.....

On the one hand, it is argued that real-life votes would misrepresent the forum, and on the other, it is suggested that a ten-state per region system (which would equally fail in representing the voters) is preferred.

And therin lies the paradox it seems....

This does seem a bit complicated....but on the one hand...you can misrepresent the people of the forum by the way of the real U.S. government (the way the real EC are set up).....or we can misrepresent the people of the forum in our OWN way...without having to listen to the U.S. government......so I dunno which way to go...

The distribution of the regions will be the number one disputed factor in finishing the Constitution...I assure you...

[Demrepdan]

There are three positions to be filled in each region. I think that it would be best to have at least six or seven registered voters in each region.

I agree with that.....

[Demrepdan]

Should we hold a census soon.....to determine the regions?

If so let me know and I'll set one up......after all.....I am the Secretary of Forum Affairs you know....

[Demrepdan]

I vote for real electoral votes.

What about Supersoulty's plan?
