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.
