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?
I was thinking of some random solution possibilities that didn't involve eliminating any of the current regions. That was among the most ridiculous which came to mind. I actually couldn't think of anything practical we could actively do that I think would be a useful solution to a lack of competition.
Personally I feel that having some "safe seats" is fine, but having five seats is too many. Four would be too many. Perhaps Midwesterners and Mideasterners could exchange a few voters. Reducing the number of regions would disappoint me.
