Yes, though not with those borders. That Northern region would still have more than double the West's population.

I'm not saying it's perfect, but the Northeast has obviously had more competitive elections than any of the other regions. This is quite clearly because it has double the population of the other regions.

It's not a huge deal to me, really. But I haven't heard any good arguments against my reasoning.

Idk. The Pacific and Midwest are both leftist, but they've usually been different kinds of leftist.

I think you guys are also failing to see that it's because the regions are so small that they can become so dominated by one faction.

The solution, then, is to encourage migration, like we did in 2005.

I kind of just wish people registered where they actually lived. And foreigners stayed in the same spot. That would probably fix a lot of things.
