(53,264 posts)Can you imagine the atrocities the Tea Party House, or the one we had the first two years of Trump, would have passed into law if we had no Senate to stop them?
I think we need to add one senator to each states delegation for every 5 million people, get rid of legislation limiting the size of Congress, and make the body nonpartisan. As to the House, use the Wyoming Multiple method of apportionment: divide your states population by Wyomings, throw away everything after the decimal, and thats how many congressmen you get.
Another thing: declare the US Congress and the White House to be articles of interstate commerce, which will allow uniform election regulation to be implemented.
And if these quarterwits want Internet-connected electronic voting, lets make this for something good: in the Year of The GOPs Lord 2019, it is an atrocity that I cannot walk into any polling place in America, show my ID card, receive a freshly printed ballot for my local races, vote it with a pen, scan it in and have my votes register at my own countys election office.
