The problem with that idea is that the majority of the US population
is clustered within 200 miles of the East and West coasts. The people
in "Fly Over" country actually *are* the minority.

Actually not. Just the ones whom bother to vote. Check out the last
Census.

The distribution figures *are* from the Census.

BTW, statistically, the people in "Fly Over" country are more likely
to vote than the teeming underclasses of the major metropolitan
areas on or near the coasts. It is only because there are so many
fewer people in "Fly Over" country that the popular vote tends to be
dominated by the metropolitan areas on both coasts.

Got some cites?
