Starting Point: Representative House
An idea that needs a little work. We leave the Senate system the way it is for now. BUT The House gets it selection criteria changed, now several States are complaining about counting noon citizens for districts, so let’s go to a voter defined with minor State padding. We currently have 435 House Members, so we’ll work with that. In each State everyone that wants to vote for State rep casts a ballot using State guidelines. Now at NO point does the Constitution require voters be citizens;” Section 2 1: The House of Representatives shall be composed of Members chosen every second Year by the People of the several States, “ Now of course the Representatives have to be citizens: “ 2: No Person shall be a Representative who shall not have attained to the Age of twenty five Years, and been seven Years a Citizen of the United States, and who shall not, when elected, be an Inhabitant of that State in which he shall be chosen.”
Once everyone has cast their Ballot, the totals shall be turned over to a central location, the total number of votes cast will be divided by 435 to arrive at the number required to receive a Representative. Now we already know that some states have too few to get a full count (or less than 145% number needed for two), so they will get ONE Representative. To make it easy we will say 10 states, so we remove the votes from those states from our over all total and the person from those states with the most votes is winner (States can have weight votes if they decide, as long as decided before voting). The remaining votes are then divided by 425 to get apportion numbers for remaining 40 States. So now if Texas limits its votes as it wants, it could easily end up with half as many Representatives as it is used to but that is only fair, they only allowed a limited number to vote.
Any help would be appreciated.
