[QUOTE="Arcangl86, post: 77511825, member: 344714"] Yes, because it is a 18th century relic of a time when the franchise was limited and those in power didn't trust the general public to make sure an important decision. It doesn't make sense now. It would be an improvement, but gerrymandering already is enough of a problem without adding more incentive to do so. Also, this wouldn't deal with one of the bigger issues (in both the house and indirectly the EC) that there is often a big difference in how many people are in each district on a national level. A true proportional system would be a better way to do it. Why shouldn't the people in the cities have more control? 80% of the country lives in an urban area. [/QUOTE]
