Example
In Oregon Portland has about 70% of the population. Portland is extremely liberal, while most of the rest of the state is conservative. In NY, NYC has the vast majority of voters and again, is very progressive and leftist leaning. And there are many other states that have that same situation.
When thinking about Oregon, Oregon is perceived as a hugely liberal, left-leaning state, and as a result Oregon voters not on the coast have proposed they succeed from Oregon and join Idaho because of a lack of representation and never having their votes count. When you look at NY, all you think of is NYC, when upstate NY is a great and beautiful area, but again, unrepresented.
How can all voters in a state have a fair election when this happens? How does an Oregon rectify the disparity?
