State Senator
November 3, 2026 · State Senate District 67; Minnesota · State senate district · general
How do we calculate vote impact?
Vote impact = representation (how much weight one vote carries here, the smaller the district's population, the higher the representation) + decisiveness (how likely this race is to be close, based on past results and number of candidates).
Representation: High · 92 out of 100
Smaller districts give each vote more weight, and this district is small for its type. About 82,726 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(91,107 ÷ 82,726) ÷ ln(91,107 ÷ 82,099) = 92.69, comparing state senate districts in MN (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
