2. There is no 'landslide' in the making

We are too polarized and are burdened by a 3/5 Compromise that gives 584K people in Wyoming more power than 759K people in Monroe County NY - of which the county seat is Rochester.

My mom died in early June so I've been going back and forth from Central NJ a great deal. I'm stunned at how just about everywhere in Monroe County you can get to in 20/30 Minutes.

The 'smaller' population states have outsized influence and have their boots on the necks of those who actually pay for things in America. And they get away with it because of something 'minority voices will be lost' - without consideration for the fact that ACTUAL minorities in high cola states are being held to an 1864 standard.

It's bullshit. There will be no landslides until we get to one person/one vote.
