Idaho is exactly the same. In fact, when people ask me what Idaho’s trajectory is like, I tell them it’s closest to Texas than any other state is, but with mountains. It will be a long long time before anything but Republican cronyism directs this state. Like the country itself, rural areas dictate its politics. The same amount of representation for 1 million voters in a small district size wise goes to the tiniest of population.
Does every state choose by total vote count in national elections, a simple majority? I’m curious about what national elections would like if we followed Nebraska’s process. It seems like more honest representation there. Less people left out of representation. Or maybe I’m not seeing something correctly?
Well, we have mountains too, just not as majestic as Idaho's. But the two states do seem to share the same corrupt Republican cronyism. All of our cities are blue, but the Republicans have made inroads in the Rio Grande Valley counties, along with the predominately Hispanic population.
It does seem like the Nebraska process (and Maine is the only other one) would be a more honest representation, but I don't think it would have helped this election. The Democrats need to win back voters AND get them to vote. I don't know what the answer is when so much of the populace gravitates toward right-wing media. The Republicans have played the long game and it's paying off for them.
Where does Fox revenue come from? Is it all advertisers and contract with the different stations and networks? That would suggest that we need to stopping watching television. I think I’d be fine with that. ;)
We seemed smarter as a nation when we had less media

Perfectly said. :)
