Reply #24: rounding will screw some states

[Perky]

Well logically it does work out that way in which the smallest population state gets one. But what if they find Gold in the Tetons? Or Cheyenne decides to become Las Vegas II? Their population could double in a couple of year... SO it cant simply be that the small-popped state only gets one. you have to set a number and stick with it The founders picked 35,000 I think 500,000 is a resonable number given tranportation, commerical and communications infrastructure.

Hard to deal with a larger constiuency unless it is very compacted.
