A Red State Wyomingite/Dakotan/Alaskan Has 40 TIMES the Political Power In The Senate As A Blue State Californian/New Yorker.

In those 4 smallest (in population) Red States the average resident has 40.2 TIMES THE POLITICAL POWER in the Senate as the average resident in those 2 largest (in population) Blue States. "Political power" = per capita political representation for these purposes.

The converse of course being, per person, Californians and New Yorkers have 1/40th the political power in the U.S. Senate as Wyomingites Dakotans & Alaskans.

Those just 3 MILLION Red State Americans combined have TWICE the political power in the United States Senate as do all 59 MILLION of those Blue State Americans combined. Due, of course to the Senate's wildly undemocratic structure and where those Americans live. The 3 million Americans have 8 senators, all Republican, and the 59 million have 4 senators, all Democratic.


Here's the math:

2019 population in millions
California 39.5122
New York 19.4536
Total 58.9658

Senators: 4, all Democratic.
Equals 1 Senate vote per 14.7414 million people.

2019 population in millions
Wyoming 0.5777
Alaska 0.7374
N. Dakota 0.7601
S. Dakota 0.8822
Total 2.9574

Senators: 8, all Republican.
Equals 1 Senate vote per 0.3697 million people.

14.7414 mill people/D senator
÷ 0.3697 mill people/R senator
= 40.17
