Electoral College

[moose65]

2. One thing that never gets discussed:

The size of the House needs to be increased. It hasn't changed since New Mexico and Arizona became States in 1912, before most women had the right to vote and many minorities were denied as well. Think about this: the size of the House affects the number of electoral votes, and after the 1920 census, the Republicans who had gained control of all three branches of government for the first time decided to not increase the size of the House because they were afraid they would lose control. After 2010, it was mostly blue states that lost House seats. We really need a "correction" because it is getting out of whack. Also, DC needs to have a real, full-fledged voting member of the House. There is nothing sacred about the number 435. I say we need to add 90 seats to bring the total to 525!
