Talk:Electoral reform in American Samoa

Constitutional Questions?
(Quote from current page text:) There have also been proposals to grant American Samoa a vote in the United States Congress, but these would likely face similar constitutional questions as proposals to grant the District of Columbia full representation in Congress.


 * Why would American Samoa face similar Constitutional Questions as D.C. Statehood does? It seems to me American Samoa would be more analogous to, say Hawaiian Statehood - it is a distinct geographical entity, non-contiguous with the rest of the United States.  The only question would be with regards to its relatively low population compared to, say, Wyoming or D.C.
 * D.C., on the other hand, has significant Constitutional questions due to how it was created and the powers Congress is explicitly granted over it, but it certainly has no population issue, having a population well within range of Wyoming's to make it justifiable as a state on that score.
 * In sum, DC and AS both have questions that would block them from statehood, but they are by no means similar questions. -96.229.15.45 (talk) 20:39, 6 October 2009 (UTC)

stub; merge?
Is there any likelihood that this article will ever grow beyond a couple of paragraphs? Why not merge it into Politics of American Samoa and/or Elections in American Samoa? —Tamfang (talk) 00:59, 7 October 2012 (UTC)
