Yay!!! Thanks for all your hard work!!!

Is that bc there just aren't people willing to run for office or do they believe they'll be defeated anyway so why waste the time, money & manpower? Maybe the focus should be on making sure every district has a DEM to run and contest the MAGA candidate.

So the possibility to turn a state blue is always there. What if voter turn-out is extremely low? Is there a minimum turn-out requirement for an election? Or if 50 people vote & 45 are Red the election is valid? If folks who normally vote red flip the vote blue...is that the only option to counter?

Maybe state legislatures would be less inclined to gerrymander if the state only receives federal representation propotional to a score based on how gerrymandered the election results are.

Half-baked, but if 40% of the entire state voted dem, but only 10% of the reps are dem, then the state only gets 100 - (40-10) = 70% representation. What does 70% representation look like? Maybe each rep's congressional vote is weighted by 70%.

It's half baked, but the general idea of weighing congressional representation by how gerrymandered a state is might be effective.

Ok, more baking. Here we go. 🔹 Draft Constitutional Amendment (Plain-Language Style) Section 1. Each Representative in the House of Representatives shall ordinarily possess one vote of equal weight.

Section 2. When the distribution of Representatives elected from a State is substantially disproportionate to the statewide share of votes cast for candidates for the House of Representatives,

the votes of Representatives from that State may be weighted to ensure that the overall influence of the State’s delegation reflects the proportion of votes cast by its people.

Section 3. Congress shall have power to establish by law the standards, methods, and procedures for determining disproportionality, and to provide for the manner in which the weight of Representatives’ votes shall be adjusted.

Section 4. Nothing in this Article shall be construed to affect the equal suffrage of the States in the Senate.

🔹 Practical Example Under This Amendment Say in Ohio: 55% voted Republican, 45% voted Democrat. The delegation is 12 Republicans, 3 Democrats (80/20 split).

Congress (using whatever formula it adopts) could say: Ohio’s GOP Reps’ votes count at ~0.9 each. Ohio’s Democratic Reps’ votes count at ~1.35 each. The net effect: Ohio’s delegation’s weighted balance reflects 55/45 instead of 80/20.
