My 5 cents worth, I beleive it will never be invoked, probably why the idea died at the time it was proposed. No Zone wars no problem.

My 5 cents worth, I beleive it will never happen now.

I said Senate, where each state gets the same number of votes so the population of each state doesn't come into it. Thhe US presidental vote is completely different and a mystery to outsiders like me :)
