For that matter, throw out the electoral college (which is really the same question) and when do you think we will ever get another Presidential candidate not from NY/Ill/Ca or Texas? And, no offense, I am not so in love with the one NY just gave us.
Bad facts lead to bad laws/rules. We need to get some balance in congress and get someone who doesn't have bad chemicals in his brain in the white house. that might mean dealing with gerrymandering and insulting third party voters every chance we get until 2020, but it doesn't justify throwing out the baby.

Hey, Illinois is diverting your water right now - it dug the Chicago River to connect up the Mississippi watershed and let them flow the river backwards when they feel like it. I don't see why we shouldn't just keep the water flowing to places that really need it.
I have no interest in this as a practical discussion, was just responding to the stuff thrown out.
The only changes to the Senate I'm in favor of pushing are making PR a state, so we never have a debacle like the hurricane debacle again.
