re: #83 HappyWarrior

You’d need 25 more states for that and or an amendment. I favor increasing the size of the House tho which I think can be done without an amendment.

Germany has around a quarter of the US population (around 82 million) and 600 seats in its Parliament.

In addition, only half are elected directly by region, the rest are nominated by their parties and then appointed according to that party’s share of the vote. That puts a damper on how much gerrymandering can take place.

And (as I like to point out as an expat to my fellow Americans) everyone has a registered address and a mandatory ID card. All you have to do is show up at your local polling place with your ID and you are already on the list.
