It would be good for Brooklyn if Republican candidates had to turn out the 30 or 40 percent of votes that they could get out of Brooklyn.
It would be good for 18.
Sure.
OK.
You'd still have to turn them out because there's so many of them.
It would be good for Utah if Democrats had to show up in Utah and get the votes that they could out of Utah.
That would make us all better.
And of course, I think it would just generally be a good thing if we had the basic principle that if you get the most votes, you ought to win.
You haven't been to Greenpoint lately.
I think among the American people, there is.
I mean, the American people don't need to be sold on reforms like overthrowing Citizens United and doing it with a constitutional amendment if that's what it takes.
I was just in Montana.
And there's an initiative there, it's a ballot initiative, to basically redefine corporations to make clear that they don't get to spend on campaigns.
So it's different than trying to regulate campaigns.
It regulates corporations which only exist in terms of the powers that a state law gives them.
I'm not a legal scholar, but it's, as I understand it, a really smart way to try to do a bank shot around Citizens United.
So it's called the Montana Plan.
And what I noticed when I was there was that it's a very bipartisan effort.
And Montana is actually a great example, talking about the extreme power you just mentioned, where it really was like that 100 years ago in the days of the Copper Kings.
You had, I think, at one point, the richest man in the country, the Elon of his day, if you will.
