1. Here’s a map of the United States if each state had the same population (about 5.5 million apiece). According to this, I’ve lived in the states of Green Bay, Erie, New York, and Willamette. Here’s why this map is an improvement over current state boundaries:

    • Ends overrepresentation of rural areas and underrepresention of cities in presidental voting.
    • Ends the imbalance of federal funding in favor of small states.
    • Preserves the historical structure of the electoral college and the United States unique federal system, balancing power between levels of government.
    • States could be redistricted after each census - just like house seats are distributed now.
