| + | <html>A group of voters from a sparsely populated region in Maryland want to form their own state, and they are threatening to secede from Maryland in order to do so. The group, which calls itself the Western Maryland Initiative (WMI),[http://ppl.zaloni.net/e-consultations/e-consultations-resource/jason-giambi-collects-career-hit-2000 Jason Giambi collects career hit 2,000], is . As the Washington Post explains,[http://66.147.244.241/~revspiri/ Purdy- Colin Kaepernick not intimidated by Green Bay Packers], this movement as well as similar movements in places like and arose because a population boom in urban areas such as Baltimore and the Maryland suburbs near the District, the Boulder-Denver areas in Colorado,[http://www.forum.canzsites.net/entry.php?102155-CBS-to-have-Texas-A-amp-M-QB-Johnny-Manziel-covered-with-Johnny-Cam CBS to have Texas A&M QB Johnny Manziel covered with 'Johnny Cam'], and in Detroit have filled state legislatures with liberal policymakers pushing progressive agendas out of sync with rural residents, who feel increasingly isolated and marginalized. | ||
| + | The five western Maryland counties that would secede under the WMI s proposal . That means that the new state would have only , although, unlike D.C., if Western Maryland were to secede from Maryland it would still receive two entire U.S. Senators and a representative in the House. | ||
| + | This effort to carve a blood red state from the barely populated areas of blue Maryland is unlikely to succeed. The Constitution provides that ��no new States shall be formed or erected within the Jurisdiction of any other State; nor any State be formed by the Junction of two or more States, or parts of States, .�� But the effort highlights three absurdities about the way small states are given a disproportionate among of influence in American government. If Western Maryland became a state, it wouldn t even be the least populous state in the country. That honor goes to Wyoming, . Indeed, because each state receives two senators regardless of population, a voter in Wyoming has . | ||
| + | Additionally, each state is , regardless of its population. Thus, Western Maryland would receive an entire House member despite its small population. Though the House is not nearly as malapportioned as the Senate, the requirement that each state receive at least one representative creates absurdities of its own. Wyoming receives one representative for the just over half a million residents living in the state. Meanwhile, just over the border in Montana, the poor residents of that state . | ||
| + | Finally, the Electoral College would guarantee Western Maryland three entire electoral votes. Currently, the Electoral College gives Wyoming residents more than three times as much say in a presidential election as California residents. California receives approximately one electoral vote for every 690,[http://promosimudah.com/ ロッテ代打福浦が勝ち越し打！古谷７勝目],000 residents, while Wyoming enjoys approximately one vote for every 190,000 residents. If Western Maryland became a state, it would look a whole lot more like Wyoming than it would like California. | ||
| + | In other words, whatever the virtue of giving the conservative residents of a sparsely populated region of Maryland more control over their local affairs, the absurd way that the United States allocates power at the federal level precludes allowing such rump movements to secede from their states. Wyoming,[http://fotorus.net/blog/?p=51134 ナイナイ矢部たむけん慰謝料グチ話を暴露], with its two senators and exaggerated influence in the House and Electoral College is already an affront to democracy the Western Maryland Initiative would give us another Wyoming.</html> | ||
