hortanz 07/12/18 10:34:32 PM #1:	The Weldon Cooper Center for Public Service of the University of Virginia analyzed Census Bureau population projections to estimate each states likely population in 2040, including the expected breakdown of the population by age and gender. Although that data was released in 2016, before the bureau revised its estimates for the coming decades, we see that, in fact, the population will be heavily centered in a few states. Eight states will have just under half of the total population of the country, 49.5 percent, according to the Weldon Cooper Centers estimate. The next eight most populous states will account for an additional fifth of the population, up to 69.2 percent meaning that the 16 most populous states will be home to about 70 percent of Americans. Geographically, most of those 16 states will be on or near the East Coast. Only three Arizona, Texas and Colorado will be west of the Mississippi and not on the West Coast. Ornsteins (and Waldmans) point is clear: 30 percent of the population of the country will control 68 percent of the seats in the U.S. Senate. Or, more starkly, half the population of the country will control 84 percent of those seats. https://goo.gl/6C5FVq --- https://imgur.com/JFmtaHB <cite>hortanz posted [p:904981104] in Senate pas...

s0nicfan 07/12/18 10:37:13 PM #4:	Objectively this seems bad for democratic representation, but since any major overhaul of the way our government works is ultimately a power play by one of the parties, I suspect dems will heavily favor this, and republicans will heavily oppose it. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Electors are given out based on number of senators and representatives in a state. I mean how is this related to changing the EC I think it would require a Constitutional amendment, unless individual states decide how they want to give their electoral votes. The amount of votes they get is based on the amount of senators and representatives. This would reduce the amount of electors small states get.
