@sayhibill @EWErickson So was Dred Scott, and that was later ruled to be wrong.

The Constitution can't be changed by simple legislation.

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@sayhibill @EWErickson That is the Census, it doesn't change the ratio.

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@johnbisognano Primaries aren't actually elections, they are a party function to select candidates to run for election. For the majority of US history, they weren't even used.

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@FramptonHoward @ChristianHeiens Imagine if States had to have Libertarian, Green, Socialist, Independent, etc districts?

Would that allow those of us who aren't R's or D's to "vote for the candidate of our choice"?

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@OfficialMitzvot @ChristianHeiens 11,000

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@daveweigel Very likely because she has the wrong letter beside her name and is therefore an "Uncle Tom".

Or, to paraphrase Joe Biden, she "ain't Black".

I am always amazed that people will vote solely based on a candidates party.

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@kennydojo @TaraServatius It actually violates the Constitution.

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@BartholomewKin2 @TaraServatius It doesn't specifically mention districts but it does call for 1 rep for every 30,000 people (not that Congress follows it), which doesn't really fit with the concept of at-large.

Not that it can't be done, but imagine having over 100 names on the ballot to choose 50?

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@Luky_BB That horseshoe district on the left is hardly "fair".

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@ChicagosLoneCon No, those are explicitly Federal.

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@ChicagosLoneCon @GeorgeBushFan4 Under the Constitution elections are a State, not Federal issue. We were designed as States for a reason, otherwise they would have just created a single government.

Attempting to make everything Federal is the problem, not the solution.

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@ChicagosLoneCon @GeorgeBushFan4 Just being national wouldn't prevent it from being pushed aside.

With so many more competing agendas, it would be more likely to fail than succeed.

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@ChicagosLoneCon NOTHING is handled more efficiently at the Federal level.

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@ChicagosLoneCon @GeorgeBushFan4 We had one here in VA that was also half non-politicians, and it got tossed aside. Is there any reason to believe that wouldn't happen with a Federal one?

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@sayhibill @EWErickson Try again.

Art. I Section 2: "The Number of Representatives shall not exceed one for every thirty Thousand, but each State shall have at Least one Representative;..."

There is no amendment that has changed that.

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@PollTracker2024 You can't really list the current Representatives in the context of the new map as it is vastly different from the current map.

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@hexane360 @thefox235654261 @StevenSingiser I answered you, more than once.

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@sayhibill @EWErickson Then you should know the Constitution says 1 per 30,000, which would be roughly 11,000.

[Brian M. Adams @Arnative]

@sayhibill @EWErickson It does, 1 for every 30,000, which has never been amended.
