I disagree.

I say repeal the 17th amendment and expand the House to 1 Representative per 100,000 constituents.

The Senate was supposed to be the voice of the state and the House was supposed to be the voice of the people.

When Senators are picked by political parties, they represent the parties not the states. When your vote for your Representative is diluted by gerrymandered districts and 1 million other votes, it no longer represents you.

Well said. Simple, yet eloquent.
