Striking figures from @voxdotcom In the incoming US Senate, Democratic senators will represent at least 20,314,962 more people than their Republican counterparts — and that’s if Republicans win both runoff elections in Georgia. 1/
"If the two Georgia seats go to the Democrats, the Senate will be split 50-50, but the Democratic half will represent 41,549,808 more people than the Republican half." 2/
"The implications of this malapportionment are breathtaking. Justices Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, & Amy Coney Barrett were all nominated by a president who lost the popular vote & confirmed by a bloc of senators who represent less than half of the country." 3/
In the current Senate, Democrats control a majority of the seats from the most populous half of the states (26-24). Republicans owe their current majority to a crushing 29-21 lead in the least populous half of the states.
