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: High · 73 out of 100
This district is a small slice of its state, so each vote here carries much more weight than a vote in a statewide race. About 189,177 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(30,188,424 ÷ 189,177) ÷ ln(50,000) = 73.44, measured against a statewide vote in TX (grades: 66+ high, 33+ normal, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
High representation → My vote power: High.
Ballot Measure
Supports: Anti-Corruption
Adds a money-owed test to who may run for or hold Brownsville City Commission office. A candidate or sitting officeholder could not be personally behind on any taxes or other debts owed to the city, and would also be disqualified by any other disqualifying provision elsewhere in the city charter.
A YES vote means
Anyone personally delinquent on city taxes or other money owed to the city is barred from running for or continuing to hold a seat on the City Commission.
A NO vote means
Owing the city back taxes or other debts does not by itself disqualify a candidate or sitting officeholder, and the current qualification rules stay unchanged.
