F...There are some serious concerns with your model. For one there are far more rural counties in California than non-rural. This would swing the balance way out of wack, allowing the minority to rule the majority. "Majority rules" as you put it, is a foundation of a democracy. Why is that a bad thing? The In addition you have small counties like Alpine county getting the same power as San Francisco or LA county. That give 1145 people(the pop. of Alpine) the same voting power as approx 11,000,000( LA and San Fran. County). I like the current set up, that way we base it on population as opposed to land area. That makes more sense. Just because someone is from a different county, doesn't mean there interest are different.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
