    Increasing the senate by population makes no sense.

    Each state gets its #of Congress + #of senators as its count in the electoral college. Dc gets three (like it was a tiny state).

    Republicans win more states, democrats win bigger states.

    the point is to balance population density against area density so that a minority rural population still can have a say. In the case of 2016, the outcome was a tyranny of the minority - but the system is fundamentally good for the long term stability of the national.

  2. Question: Is there an arbitrage opportunity?


    The Canadian Lotto's have the odds of the Republican Party winning the Popular Vote at 5.50. Which I placed a $100 bet when the odds where 4.75. The Democratic Part odds are 1.15.

    I am looking for any US State lotto that has the odds on the Democratic Party winning the Popular Vote above 2.00. I would then also place a $100 bet on the Democratic Party winning the Popular Vote.

    $200 total on both parties - with a minimum payout of $200+, maximum $475.

    US state lotteries have scratch tickets and jackpot drawings like Mega Millions and Powerball. For stuff like what you want, you'd prolly need to google some Las Vegas bookies.

    I got 3.0 odds to back Trump on Betfair.

    Just bet 500 GBP (650 USD) backing Trump.

    Will triple my money if trump wins, tax free, although the exchange will take 5% commission of my profits.

    This is just an opening scale in, looking to go to 2000 GBP (2600USD) by tuesday. Hopefully will get even better odds over the next few days. If the odds become less favourable i might not bet that much

    The US is extremely unpopular right now all over the globe. The world has no confidence in the judgement of the American public; too many dumb asses like you who never got a decent education. If you elect a psychopath like Trump of course the world takes notice. You certainly talk a "brave" game behind a keyboard but in person I'd shut you up rather quickly. Go fuck yourself.

    No, the US isn't unpopular. Its the number one place in the world people want to move to. Canada is a distant 2nd followed closely by Germany.

    Agreed. The Senate was created specifically to prohibit this (the Connecticut Compromise). In the Senate, each state gets equal representation, no matter it's population, unlike in the House of Representatives.
