Ok,Ok, some change is in fact possible.
I would argue though that in states where the problem s ginormous, the Virginia solution would not be of much help

Pols are going to have a hard time, I think. The geezers (w/ their wants) vs. Millenials (seeing the ‘geezer squeeze’ + their wants).

An aging, dwindling voter block or the growing voter block?
