[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]And gain two more seats in the United States Senate? Absofrigginlutely!!!!

We should also split up other large Blue states to further increase the ratio, too! CA, NY, NJ, MA, HI, we could add dozens more seats in the Senate, all Dem controlled.

Read the Article One Section Five of the Constitution. If we can get to a 2/3rds majority in the Senate, the Majority Leader can then start holding votes to expel members. So even though the redneck states would elect them and send them here, they’d get booted out immediately. We can put in place a permanent Democratic majority that could never, ever be challenged.

It would also mean all those broken up states would send Reps and Senators to Congress. Depending on whether these new representatives are L or R might be more of a curse than a blessing in your scheme. And with more states come more problems.

Be careful what you wish for.
