Quote from: gonealookin on July 13, 2025, 10:38:41 PMThe issue I have with it is that Red gets 32% of the U.S. Senate membership...and of those, 28 are Republicans and 4 are Democrats.  Merge some of those states together.

Orange is the other one that is over-represented in the Senate, slightly, at 24% (4 Republicans, 18 Democrats, 2 Independents who caucus with the Democrats).

Says the person from a state that has 2% of the US Senators, but slightly less than 1% of the US population.

Hint: That's the way the system was designed by the original framers of the Constitution.



In retrospect, a terrible decision.
