Under this system, whichever party gets to gerrymander the legislative boundaries and has the most party representatives will win. This happens every 10 years after the Census. Right now this would probably favor Republicans, but it could just as easily shift to Democrats as the more liberal young, Black, Hispanic, and gay grow in electoral strength and the more conservative elderly die off.

Does this mean that Georgia's 180 Representatives would vote for the 2 Senators, rather than the States constituents?
