Article speaks to how Democratic voters self segregate, generally in large cities, and thus decrease the power of their vote, especially for the House, but even the Senate as a result.

October 23, 2016 - "Hillary Clinton’s presidential campaign has built a field team in swing-states across the country that is larger than a U.S. Army brigade, giving her a huge advantage over Republican Donald Trump on Election Day.

Between Clinton’s presidential campaign, the Democratic National Committee and state party operations, campaign finance reports show Democrats employ 5,138 staffers across 15 battleground states.

Trump’s campaign has shown little interest in investing in a ground operation.

National Republicans, independent of the Trump campaign, have plowed millions into building the sort of field team necessary to compete with Democrats, but new campaign finance reports show they are falling well short of Democrats."

We should move to proportional representation. Rural areas, which contribute less to America than urban areas, should have a lesser say, not a greater say. This is a distortion, areas which don't contribute anything to our nation somehow get to make all our decisions. It's disgusting. People in rural areas are barbarians that shouldn't be allowed to vote, they're uncivilized.

Odd...because the gun totin Rednecks in the rural areas claim that the colored folks in the cities sway the elections.

You said people who stay were they were born and raised are self segregating. How is that the case if someone doesn't have the skills or money to go anywhere else?

Skidmark did it. I did it. I know working class stiffs from Ohio who have gone to the Dakotas to work in the gas and oil fields. Made good money too. They were not exactly MBAs. I know quite a few college educated people who moved from the rural area I'm from to find work who moved back. My father and Uncle did that. Moved away from their rural small towns to earn their Doctorates and moved back to the area because they preferred the rural/small town lifestyle and despite the fact they could have earned more in an urban area.

Also, it's not like rural America cornered the market on the poor and unskilled.
