California, Texas and Florida

Bloomberg: Starting in four years, these three states will control 33% of the House, and 6% of the Senate; clearly unworkable.

Wait, you say, Bezerkeley told us the two party system fixes this problem. No, politics is local.  In  each of these states, G is the state capital; they want bulk financial transfers.  In 30 other states, G is DC; they want services.  There is an economy of scale effect, the path length across government is longer for the large three.  DC cannot support both systems.
