By 2040, 70% of Americans will live in 15 states giving them 30 senators. 30% of the population will have 70% of senators.
In 2040, 9 states will have 50% of the population!
My idea is allowing the 10 biggest states to have 3 senators. This would give a more power to a larger slice of the electorate.
The 10 biggest states are California, Texas, Florida, New York, Pennsylvania, Illinois, Ohio, and Georgia, North Carolina, and Michigan.
With the current political climate, 3 would go to Democrats, 3 would go to Republicans, and 4 would be from swing states. So no party would lose seats.
Thoughts?
No. The Senate is meant to represent the States, not the people. Cmon, guys, act like y’all have taken at least one civics/history/government class.
