Government more representative of dirt than people (link)


Understanding electoral representation in the US

The United States has 538 electoral votes in total. If electoral votes were distributed according to population, one electoral vote would represent about 608,000 people.

At the link below, you can click on a state to see how its share of electoral votes compares to its share of the US population.

CA & TX are underrepresented by about 10 EC votes.

At the other end, 13 states are overrepresented by 2-3 EC votes.

At the extremes, one electoral vote only represents 193,000 people in Wyoming but over 700,000 people in Texas or California.
