If all states had equal population…

The electoral college is a time-honored system that, has only broken down three times in over 200 years. However, it’s obvious that reforms are needed. The organization of the states should be altered. This Electoral Reform Map redivides the territory of the United States into 50 bodies of equal size. The 2000 Census records a population of 281,421,906 for the United States. The states ranged in population from 493,782 to 33,871,648.  In this map, new states have formed, all with equal populations of roughly 5,617,000.

Missouri (my state) seems to be about the same size as it is now.

  1. I really dont feel right about giving long island statehood. I would rather never ever hear that accent on C-Span

  2. The electoral college is a time-honored system that, has only broken down three times in over 200 years.
    What an idiot! It is NOT a time honored system, it is the law found in article 2 of the Constitution. Broken down? Never!

    If you are interested in improving the Constitution, the counrty and the political process, appeal the 17th amendment!

  3. Am I reading this wrong or does Chesapeake aquire Washington DC? I would think DC would get it’s own state as they are cracker-jack packed there.

    Also, that’s pretty much how Texans and Californians break themselves up, so this is more dead-on than it seems
