“LOL, they have just disenfranchised their voters.”
While that may be true locally, they could conceivably be part of a grander scheme to centralize all of the voting power in NY, CA, PA and the major population centers...you know, the “dazzling urbanites” who could care less about what the rest of America wants...and do it without the need for a pesky Constitutional Amendment...which would take 2/3 of the state to ratify...which would NEVER happen.
Which would bring them PDQ to the Supreme Court and the whole enterprise crashing down as the Supremes hammer their little game as unconstitutional on its face.
