Yep. Take every seat, make it 15 seats. Ideally we’d have ranked choice and STV. Something like how Australia has a quota system for Senators being elected. People who achieve 1/16th of the votes get a seat, distribute preferences, repeat until all seats are full.
What is the chance that the US population majority will recognize this need and push for some kind of gerrymandering fix that includes a democratic upgrade?
I’d love to see the debate over adding 6k salaries for Congress. That’d be a hoot and the likely plan of attack for the dissenters.
Do you want regular or extra gerrymandering with that? And how about AIPAC and gold bar bribes?
Will all 6K of them have dual citizenship in Isreal as well?
