While we are at it, let’s have a bunch of states implement an idea I’ve suggested for some time: eliminate House districts. Go back to the way many states operated in the early years of this country, and elect all the House member through a single at-large election in the state. At a bare minimum, it would eliminate all the idiocy surrounding these endless gerrymandering conflicts.

Then conservatives from big states would have zero voice. I’d rather we eliminate winner-take-all states for national elections.

I very RARELY agree with your printed ideas, but, being the very fair and astute man that I am, I must give you credit for an EXCEPTIONAL IDEA.

THANK YOU, and forgive me for some {not all} of my past posts.

It's OK if you don't accept my apology as I have been very harsh and sometimes vulgar posts to you, but every once in a while, I go sane.

Mea culpa.

Wouldn’t that put each state at the mercy of it’s large cities? They could just run 12 democrats for the twelve at-large seats and sweep the whole state with urban overwhelming, just like in presidential elections.

Unfortunately I think this would encourage straight-ticket party-line voting, because after all, who has time to review the qualifications and positions of 20, 30 or 40 representatives running for office.
