| Oct 12, 2019 at 2:30 | comment | added | Cireo | @Joe to be fair, states are still relevant since every state is constitutionally guaranteed at least one seat, and the en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Apportionment_paradox. Some numbers from 2012 (thegreenpapers.com/Census10/FedRep.phtml) show a 90% difference in people / seat in the worst case (MO vs RI). | |
