It’s a hard problem to change or adjust the system, when so many of the elected people rely on the system as it is to get reelected. Nobody wants to make elections fairer if it means they might lose. Nobody wants to put term limits or age limits in place if it means they will get pushed out.
Long time ago the power balance was rigged. Why is it a North and South Carolina, a North and South Dakota, a Virginia and West Virginia, but no South, Central, and North California? Or why don’t D.C. or Puerto Rico have representation in Congress? Power.
I understand the north south part of similar states due to the mason Dixon divide, but growing up in Minnesota I have never figured out the historic or cultural difference between North and South Dakota.
I want to know who it is that rings my hands. :-)

I would value any thoughts.
