(10,775 posts)7. I don't follow
Isn't that roughly the Democratic/Republican/No Party Preference breakdown? Or are Democrats over-represented in this count?
CaliforniaPeggy
(152,592 posts)9. I think the breakdown is correct.
All I mean is that more Democrats voted than Republicans.
And I see that fact as showing that we're more enthusiastic than the Republicans.

California Congressional representatives 52
Montana Congressional representatives 2

(10,775 posts)6. Based on population
which is about 35 times Montana's, we should have 70. It way past time to extend the size of the House.

(3,659 posts)8. I agree with expanding the house.
Before the latest redistricting, we had 53 and Montana 1.
Montanans I know complain, too.
