Because each state has two seats in the Senate, voters in small states are proportionately more powerful than voters in large states. For example, the 37.2 million residents of California (the largest state) are represented by the same number of Senators as the 0.6 million residents of Wyoming (the smallest state). Because there are 62 voters in California for every voter in Wyoming, Wyoming voters are 62 times more powerful in determining senators than California voters. This disparity was supposed to be eliminated in the House of Representatives by equalizing the size of congressional districts. Check out the estimated population for House seats in California and Wyoming in 2018. You can do this either by clicking on the state on the map or switching to Table View and finding California and Wyoming on the list. Calculate the ratio between the population of California districts to Wyoming districts. In the House of Representatives, how does the power of voters in Wyoming compare to those of California? In comparison to California voters, Wyoming voters are powerful. a. equally b. about 20% more c. about 30% less d. about 80% more
