(14,449 posts)I wonder if purple states would join the blue states. I think we should try. It's worth a look to see how close we'd get and maybe get the states needed in 2018. I think it'd work.

(21,836 posts)Why can't electoral votes just be reapportioned to reflect fairness with a constant standard across the country.

(10,005 posts)as set by census every 10 yrs.
There are 435 congressional districts in the United States House of Representatives,[1] with each one representing approximately 711,000 people.[2]
Each district get 1 EC seat.
My understanding is the Census is based on population which would include both citizen and Non.

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
