Wow! That would be a real neat way to make a one-party state without alternatives. Lately, there has been a lot of talk about protecting “our democracy” by getting rid of both the filibuster and the electoral college. That sure would transform this nation from a constitutional republic into a democracy (also known since Aristotle’s time as a form of mob rule). Say good-bye to all individual rights and if you don’t live in a city, get used to having the common sense of the city people guiding your life. I can imagine the results of this, California, New York, Florida, Illinois and Texas deciding all questions and every policy.
