Kennedy Ice- up for grabs

[jody2.718]

The future is cute and cuddly, but every time grandma tries to grab a hold of the "little bargain" he just seems to melt away. The U.S. Senate, however, now there's a real bargain.

North Dakota- pop.,  755,393, and Two senators
California- pop.,  39,536,653, and Two senators
Ratio-  about 52 : 1

In Senatorial Mathematics, each person from North Dakota is worth 52+ Californians.

Excuse me while I dust off my degree in rocket science, but in terms of power, why would anyone even bother trying to persuade the voting percentage of 39.5 million people in California to vote for them when the same effect could be had by persuading 2 percent of that many in North Dakota?

322,613 people voted in North Dakota for the senatorial race. In California, no senate seats up for re-election, but 7,140,132 people voted for the governorship.  On a percentage basis the turnout was way higher in North Dakota- almost 43 % of the estimated 2017 population (hard to believe, actually), while in California,  about 20% of the estimated 2017 population voted for governor. Still, 51% of 322,613 in N.D. needed to control a senate seat, or about 165,000 votes, versus 51% of the estimated 7,140,132 voting public, or, about 3,641,500, in California- 22 times as many votes needed in California to control a senate seat.

Where would you spend your money?
