The problem is the percentage of the rural population has been declining for decades. Republicans need to confront this fact and that, at some point, the Senate will be elected by urban dwellers.

Education of the urbanites is critical to preserving this republic.

In many (most) states, the big voting blocs are in the big liberal cities and they control the election of Senators from the state. So her argument doesn’t make a lick of sense.

Also, it’s a shame the Founding Fathers didn’t think of a way to modify the constitution as the nation evolved. If only they had thought of adding a mechanism to AMEND the constitution to fix things like she is complaining about. Then she could pursue her desired changes via that amendment mechanism to fix things. But no, there’s no way to amend the constitution and we are stuck with it. If only those Founding Fathers had had the sense to build in a way to change it.

Of course, there really is no need to amend the constitution at all when you have liberal courts who can reveal the true meaning hidden in the “penumbras.”

When I was a young lad, New York State had 41 electoral votes. It is now 27.
