      Each 1 Wyoming voter is worth about 67 Californians in the senate due to the fact that California has about 67 times the population but still only 2 senators.

      38,940,231 Californians / 576,851 Wyomingites = ~67.5 ratio

        Each Wyoming is worth one California in the Senate due to the fact that California and Wyoming are both single states. The messed up part is the missing like 140 representatives that should exist to balance population to representative for each state.

      Same as every other state dingus. That’s why we have the house of representatives.

        You’re right, and the dingus needs a civics lesson.

        But as you’re probably aware, the House has its issues with being artificially limited too.
