In reply to the discussion: Sasse proposes ending direct election of U.S. senators [View all]rwsanders
(2,606 posts)the republicans have in the number of primarily rural states. I've read Wyoming has 800k people, but 2 senators. CA has millions, and only 2 senators. At large would break that up.
I believe they would vote for it believing that they have a majority. I believe the right is that delusional.
But overall, the point is what would balance the system, what should we be working toward, where can we apply pressure, not what will work with the people that are there would do. Because first, that is trying to predict the future and secondly, if we are going to only tolerate the freedom they are willing to grant, NOTHING is going to change. As you can see by the OP, they are hoping to consolidate their power and make a republican majority of the senate a permanent feature of life in the states.
