One of the big problems I’ve seen in my adult years is that at the State level, elections are ultimately determined by the high population density areas (cities). This leaves rural areas disenfranchised, without empathetic representation to the constituents’ will and overruled in many cases. This happens all the time in Connecticut, where the majority of the rural towns are primarily Conservative and the cities are predominantly Liberal. You can see the result where there is a large degree of polarization and divide, causing mass exodus of those who are not being fairly represented. It’s been very difficult always being the underdog in the election process. If we had State elections handled similarly to Federal elections, using the Electoral College process, perhaps the disparity would be better mitigated. The consideration of a balanced voice works well at the Federal level, why can’t we do the same at the State level?
