Democrats are VERY lucky their power base is in the Northeast where the states are very small, and thus get 2 senators for an area not much larger than a large city in the south. Nearly the whole northeast should be turned into ONE large state with only 2 liberal senators, THAT would fix a lot of stuff.

I just love that idea!

I agree New England actuary has the Gaul to want more representation cause they ave a uniquely “dense” population.

I found it interesting that you could put all 6 New England States together have an area only slightly larger then the State of Washington, and a population roughly half the size of Texas.

Yet they have nearly as much representation in congress, and electors for president (33 vs 38).

As a whole New England is overrepresented consistering its Geographic size and growth potential.

The prevailing additive of the population in theses areas being general pro centralized goverment seems evident of their dissatisfaction with the limited size and capability of their Respective States to handle theses matters.

It is logical to encourage them to merge rather then continue to allow them to express this apparent dissatisfaction with advocacy of strong more intrusive Federal Government which the rest of us then have to live with.
