    completely silence the voice of a group of people for all time

    I don't think anything proposed here by anyone would do that? What is being proposed is to stop prioritizing the votes of people occupying vast tracts of land over the majority. To have a vote cast by someone in the hinterlands equal someone's vote in more populous parts of the country is putting them on par with everyone else. I'm not so sure what is so magical about someone living in a remote area that their interests should not align with everyone else's.

      It's nothing magical. They will inherently have different priorities, and they deserve a voice in the political process.
