That`s the only parliament in the US where voters choose their representatives rather than the other way round!
Reform it by making state`s representation proportional. Maybe elect Senators proportionally, too. (This would only be a change in the larger states - if you have to proportionally fill one seat, it still goes to the top vote getter.)

What about Hillary? She is only a New Yorker because she has a house there.

At the very least states ike CA and TX should get more than 2 senators, like 3 or 4. WY and AK have waay fewer than 1% of the population so one senator is more than enough for them.

I know... how about we carve a state where UT, CO, AZ, and NM intersect and make a circle with a radius of 1 mile around it. As soon as three people settle into it, we can claim 0 unemployment and the best economy of the country!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
