So three obvious points that you notice....
1. About every ten years, there's a ten-million voter jump.
2. 2020 is an odd jump, because it bumped up 22-million in four years.
3. Most of all voting patterns now....are urbanized. Rural sectors haven't grown....but city patterns have more than doubled over the past forty-odd years.

ReplyDeleteOregon here.
The entire population of farmers, ranchers, loggers, and other rural folk is ruled -- not 'governed' -- by a few delusional city-folk in Portland, Salem, and Eugene.
.
In my humble, those three population centers could organize as city-states, and leave the rest of us alone.
Those city-folk in their city-states would be free to pass any delusional 'moon-beam' 'laws' their little hearts desire.
