On February 11, the U.S. Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs passed S.160 by a vote of 11-1. It permanently expands the size of the U.S. House, and gives the District of Columbia its own member of the U.S. House. It also temporarily gives a new seat to Utah.
Three Republican Senators were present at the Committee voting session. Senators Susan Collins (Maine) and George Voinovich (Ohio) voted “Yes”. Senator John McCain voted “No.” Three other Republican Senators were not there, but they said they would have voted “No” if they had been there. They are Tom Coburn (Oklahoma), John Ensign (Nevada), and Lindsey Graham (South Carolina). Thanks to Rick Hasen for this news.
Thank God. Lindsey Graham is best when he is absent.
One more brain dead bill.
D.C. is NOT a State of the Union.
14th Amdt, Sec. 2.
Are the MORONS in the gerrymander Congress unable to detect the 23rd AMDT – Prez electors for D.C. ???

Proper remedy –
A Const AMDT —
Uniform definition of Elector in ALL of the U.S.A.
P.R. for ALL legislative body elections.
A.V. for ALL nonpartisan executive/judicial elections.
Way too difficult for the EVIL scheming party hacks in the gerrymander Congress.
