What states don’t have is something like the electoral college.
That was designed to offset the power of cities.
The founders knew how how cities fuck$d up their countries.
States DID have the rough equivalent of the Electoral College. Maybe you know that, but the wording isn’t clear.
For the benefit of those who do not, the idea was that large population centers in a state could not dominate the rest of the state. Sound familiar? Well it should. That’s why a 1/3 of Oregon wants to Join Idaho.
It was decided by SCOTUS (who else probably the Warren regime), “One Man One Vote” and that, as they say, was the end of that.
It’s important to know History, because while a lot of people know things are FUBAR, they don’t know *why* or *how* things got FUBAR. This was a calculated move to knock off one of the timbers that made this country function.
The EC and the Senate are others, obviously. They wanted Mob Rule, and they got it. They aren’t going to stop now.
