(WONKY POST WARNING)

A constituent of mine wrote to Rep Drazan (Leader of the Oregon House Republicans) asking her to “respect the will of the majority of Oregonians by keeping your caucus present to do the work of recovering from the pandemic and other issues”. Rep Drazan wrote back: “The Democrats hold(ing) single party control in Oregon, despite only representing a third of all Oregonians”.

I took this as a numbers challenge.

How does Rep Drazan arrive at “only representing a third of Oregonians”?
