Reply to comment by brufleth in Healey should give rural Massachusetts a seat at the table - The Boston Globe by GlobeOpinion

Or in other words "make the (variable size) voting population of each state have approximately equal representation in congress" which is exactly what I said. Because the United States is a union of states, not a giant singular unit of government.

The US isn't and was never intended to be a true democracy like Switzerland.

This state would be foolish to hold that up as a model to follow.

Also didn't read the article? They aren't even asking for more congressional representation.

They're asking for a special representative in the state government be created.

They're asking for a single officer in the governor's office, something that has been done in numerous other states. A single officer.

Not representation in congress.
