Tom and Ted,
You would have to change the Constitution to do that. 1/3 of the Senate must
be elected every two years. Now you could elect 1/3 the states and rotate.
However, that would require a change in law too because terms are for 6 years and
would change the term cycle. It would also change elections nationally. So,
it ain't gonna happen.
If you want Idaho to have a Democratic Representative you need to convert
Kootenai County. Eight of the nine northern counties in Idaho's 1st congressional
district are Democrat. If you got Kootenai County, and evened out in Ada like
we have in the last 4 years, we would get the seat back.
