Eric is telling us we absolutely *must* suddenly change our voting laws because in the next 250 years, we'll add another ONE THOUSAND states to the union.

Even if you add every single U.S. territory (14 total, including unincorporated, unorganized and unpopulated islands), even those without civilian populations, that's 28 more senators.

If you chop every single state, not just the big ones, into 5 states that's 200 more.

So we're at say, a total of 278 senators, including the ones we have now. Hell, let's be generous and say the four biggest states, AK, TX, CA, and MT are chopped into 15, not 5 states. That's 40 more states, or 80 more senators, for a grand total of 358 senators out of his 2,000.

We have 1,642 senators to go, or an additional 821 states left to create, and we've pretty much exhausted U.S. lands.

What do we annex as states after that? Any additional land would be a part of foreign countries, so which ones do we ask/force to be part of the United States?

How about Greenland? It's 4.5 times smaller than the U.S., so that's an additional 11 states, but let's give it five times the number of states and call it 55, or 110 extra senators.

We're down to 1,532 senators to go, and we've already started annexing foreign countries.

Let's take Canada next. It's roughly the same size as the U.S., so let's chop it into another 250 states like we did with the U.S. 500 more senators, leaving a dearth of only 1,032 senators.

How about Mexico? Five times smaller than the U.S., so we can make a bunch more states of that. That'd be 50 more states of the same size (1/5th the average state size) for another 100 senators. Down to only 932 left, and the United States is all of North America plus Greenland.
