Beautiful state that’s way too liberal.

Actually, only the big population centers (Portland, Salem) are predominantly liberal. The rest of the state is pretty much a red state.

As it is in many “blue” states. Even NY

An argument could be made that for every rural dweller; their vote should be counted 50 times for every city dweller or whatever the ratio from city to rural is for that state.

Or possibly the representative vote from the rural area should count X times more than the city area rep so all areas are represented equally by land mass and not by population.

Or laws passed by city people only apply to that city and not the state it is located in.

None of this will ever happen but it would be a great way of leveling the playing field.
