Yes, quickly; anything that creates a system that deviates from 1 citizen, 1 vote should have no place in our American republican/representative governance.

Yes, quickly; anything that creates a system that deviates from 1 citizen, 1 vote should have no place in our American republican/representative governance. What you’re presenting is essentially the "super delegate" protocol of the demonratz where they can assure the candidate the party wants is chosen above what the demonrat voter wants during the primaries. Or, eventually, as the party power brokers, you can just choose the Demonrat candidate that superseded the wishes of the primary voters - as we saw in the last election cycle.

Term limits of two election cycles; not re-upped for second term until 5 yrs pass?
The big idea:
-- prevent non-sensical laws, help drain the swamp
I don't pretend to have it all thought out nor would I wish to make the situation worse.

OK, so now we have a super- super- set of "voters" making sure the initial super voters vote properly.
p-rog, I’m sympathetic with your argument and what you’re trying to accomplish, it’s the same internal discussion I’ve been having
