We've lived with that here in Michigan for a long time.  Lansing, Grand Rapids
and Detroit effectively decide everything on the ballot.

"Failed democracy" is a good term here.  We are supposed to have a Republic and
part of that is to prevent the "tyranny of the majority".  So a purely popular
vote should not decide things.

I've been wanting to move to something like each area (county, more than that?)
gets 1 vote.  The popular vote within that area decides which way the vote will
happen.  But it would mean that places like Detroit get 1 vote and not
5,000,000 votes.
