Who would this really affect? Me & Yankee? Do you guys really think the Senate would function better without us? I'm retiring in a week or two, of course, but I'm at the end of my sixth term.

Though Yankee has hogged the SE Senate for a ridiculously long time, I suppose. How about a nine term limit...? Tongue

I proposed having three regions but nobody liked that idea.

That's been talked about a lot, actually.  Enlarge the south and west to their proper sizes and create a northern region.  We had a poll a while back that showed the majority supported it, if I remember correctly.

The NE already has about 1/3 of the population and shouldn't be changed too much. Combining the SE/ME and PA/MW might work, though those would be somewhat wacky borders.

You could have liberal vs. liberal and conservative vs. conservative races.

But really, small regions are conducive to creating strongholds. Sure, the Pacific and SE are solid, but the fact that they're small in the first place is a very major reason certain groups managed to take over and in some cases consolidate.

It would be pretty crazy to let people register in up to two regions to vote in.

...What?
