They had this. There was some act that gave each state an electoral vote but they got Rid of it decades ago. I can't remember what it was called

Supreme Court precedent won't allow it either (implemented for racial reasons)- Congress would probably have to pass a law. Good luck.

So that means you don't even try? That's the problem with Republicans. They're like a bunch of boxers who talk big before a fight, walk in to the arena all big and tough, then get to the ring, throw in the towel and walk away.

I contend it would hold up in the Supreme Court. It's not denying anyone the right to vote and would mirror the current Electoral College, which is completely Constitutional. The harder the Left fights it, the more apparent it becomes that they have been committing massive fraud in cities, which we already know. Of course, the Republicans will still do nothing about punishing that anyway.

Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533 (1964) - Alabama had one state senator per county, regardless of population, for exactly the reason you describe, and it was declared unconstitutional. It's been tried. Was the ruling wrong? I think so- states should be able to determine their own types of representation. Are you likely to get it overruled without Congressional action? No.

Different time...different court...different circumstances as you're describing something that happened in the deep South during the peak of the civil rights movement.

This wouldn't stop the Left from trying, trying and trying again. Republicans never even try.
