As a Floridian I’m uncomfortable with how much Florida there is.

An elector in Wyoming represents around 150,000 voters, whereas a California elector represents the votes of some 500,000 residents. That makes their votes over 3 times more powerful.. lol

Any yet those assholes get the same number of senators as California. Wildly out-of-balance system.

alaska is even more wild as a big segment lives on the panhandle would be interesting to seperate the panhandle from upper alaska

Michigan upper peninsula looks out of scale with the lower, but not relative to how low the population is. And looks like Wisconsin is trying to steal it

This map would probably be a lot more meaningful to me if I could identify more than texas, florida & california
