How do we calculate my vote power?
What goes into the rating: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. Decisiveness: how likely this race is to be close, based on past results or current analyst ratings, plus the number of candidates.
Representation: Normal · 51 out of 100
This district covers a large share of its state, so each vote carries about average weight — like a vote in a statewide race. About 1,001,146 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(1,445,235 ÷ 1,001,146) ÷ ln(50,000) = 51.7, measured against a statewide vote in HI (grades: 66+ high, 33+ normal, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Normal representation → My vote power: Normal.
