2. Im all for "redistricting" states

Just as long as the new borders bring the respective states approximately even in population.

Like.. Montana, Idaho, Wyoming, Eastern Washington and Eastern Oregon could merge into one state, and have two senators representing a population nearly equivalent to western Washington or western Oregon.

And California could split. Into 6+ states. each with roughly equal populations, each with two senators.

Etc.

I think there's an opportunity in their desire to redraw state borders.
