David If you could get 3/4 of the states to support your recommended constitutional changes, Houdini would come from his grave to dub you the greatest magician ever.
Neither Wyoming nor Delaware would reverse the Great Compromise [two senators for each state] that resulted in the Constitution. Ditto eliminating the Electoral College.

We need more public discussion of one person, one vote. we have really mucked it up today, although it could be worse and if we let it, could go there. The equal representations of states Senate seems more anachronistic when you consider the difference between the mostly agrarian society of the US in the Framers era with the urban populations of today. That said, as discussed above, the Senate can't be gerrymandered or Electoral Colleged. The electoral College seems the more odious of the two, since the President and Vice President are the one national choice for which all registered citizens can vote, and for whom, all are constituents. Also, given the scale of (often) necessary but highly dangerous-if-misused powers granted to a president, there, above all, "one person, one vote" should rule.
