Is it Time for a Senate Reform Act?

Thinking the unthinkable...

Equal voting rights could dramatically change the composition of the US Senate.

In 1995, Senator Daniel Patrick Monyihan declared, "Sometime in the next century the United States is going to have to address the question of apportionment in the Senate," Eric Orts writes on theatlantic.com.

Perhaps that time has come, Orts reported.

Today the voting power of a citizen in Wyoming, the smallest state in terms of population, is about 67 times that of a citizen in the largest state of California, and the disparities among the states are only increasing, he noted.

The situation is untenable, he added.
