Thanks for those links - the Nathan guy especially makes a lot of compelling points, even though they still could just be results defying polls. I don’t think the lack of news about this implies a lack of interest or that nobody is doing anything. If there is any substance to the vote swap idea I’m sure something will be uncovered, as anything on this scale would leave a lot of loose ends.

The only one I’m aware of is in Michigan, where 3 Trump allies are now charged with tampering or planning to tamper with voting machines, and that case is moving forward.

I shared their frustration myself, but I realized stopping Trump was more important in the long run. Too bad not enough others did - he hardly won any states by more than 200k.

<sigh> Four more years of this shit. But oh well, it’s worth it if it spared a few people of superior moral integrity from compromising their principles to vote for Harris when she didn’t measure up to their requirements and the Democrats didn’t run a good enough campaign and besides it was kind of cold that day and it would have meant putting on pants.

Or what, they’ll stop producing food? States that are big on financial companies could claim they deserve more representation because they finance everybody else. Or states with a lot of military because they pertect Freedum. Etc. Nope, you’re a citizen, you get equal representation.

Looks like you’re right, but frankly LA County having more people than 40 states instead of 43 doesn’t drastically change the picture.

Shouldn’t you ask OP?

Rural people make up 20% of the US population. They SHOULD be drowned out by the other 80%, or putting it less antagonistically they should have their fair share of influence, which is 20%. The Senate is a giant thumb on the scale that gives rural voter representation a stranglehold on the government. Talkin’ to you, Moscow Mitch.

Putting it another way, only six states + California have more people than LA county.

LOL how is Maryland gerrymandered, isn’t it like 12 blocks?

If you’re a drinker you know where the liquor store is. If you drink a lot you know what time it closes. If you drink too much you know what time it opens.
