They need a new system obviously. The problem is that all the Democrats (for the most part) are in big cities. So they get their districts and then out of the city area, the Republicans get their. Well the states are huge so if you cut up the states, the big cities where the Democrats are only get one or two districts which is why they typically have more votes, but it is just that those districts have more votes than needed since the GOP is so small in big cities. What is the solution? I don't know...lol. Maybe cut the cites up and have the GOP areas part of the city districts.
