This will modify the effect of the earth's magnetism and should keep the satellite's axis pointing properly...
Every major power bloc has reason to resist reform. Any move toward a popular vote would shear the power of small states. Under either a popular or proportional system, big-city ethnic minorities and labor unions would lose their power to swing entire states. Deep-South Democrats and Farm-Belt Republicans could no longer deliver unbroken chunks of electoral votes-and their power in party councils would diminish...
