How about 4 Districts?

[King]

4 REALLY BIG DISTRICTS would solve the NY bottleneck.



District 1: 31
District 2: 34
District 3: 33
District 4: 32

I personally actually like the 8 districts with 2 "at-large" senators idea, myself.  Something like this:

We don't need more districts, or more senators, or more anything.  It's already quite unwieldy.

Gabu's 8 districts with 2 at large actually leaves the senate count at 10. Mine reduces it to 8. Nobody is talking expansion of the Senate.

There are several workable plans on the table. We can make this work without changing everything around.

For any of these change the number of districts plans, we would require a constitutional amendment. Theres just no prospect of one before the December midterms given the already large workload placed on the Senate in terms of defining the Powers of the Senate, not to mention actually pursuing some sort of legislative agenda, which as a Senate they deserve the chance to do.

Even without the above, I don't know where the votes in the Senate will come from for either an increase or decrease in the size of the Senate. They might go for an eight district, two at large plan, but I doubt it.

I personally see no need to tinker with the system until such time as it becomes desireable to change the size of the Senate.  At such a time, it would be worth reconsidering how the Senate is elected, but not before then.

For the most part, I agree with Gov. Ernest.... wait what... hmm, anyone feel a chill, hell just froze over.
