Then we can take proposals for creating a District of Lincoln or Roosevelt for meetings and events closer to the center of population, e.g. Kansas City (near mean center) or the confluence of the Mississippi and Ohio (near median center). https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/04/zoom-congress-perfectly-constitutional/610057 https://www.theatlantic.com/ideas/archive/2020/04/zoom-congr...
