Related: Editorials & Other Articles, Issue Forums, Alliance Forums, Region ForumsSome data for your anti-California repubs
Population of CA - 39,000,000 (estimate)
Population of Wyoming - 600,000
CA Electoral Votes - 55
Wyoming EVs - 3
CA EV to Population ratio 1 to 709,091 (1 09,091 - even DU is laughing at me)
WYO EV to Pop ratio 1:200,000
If CA had an equal (democratic) representation to Wyo, we would have 195 Electoral Votes.
Point being, something needs to be done. Either abolish the EV OR add Reps.
