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 · 61 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 420,264 people live here.

Show the representation math

score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(5,296,225 ÷ 420,264) ÷ ln(50,000) = 61.71, measured against a statewide vote in SC (grades: 66+ high, 33+ normal, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)

Normal representation → My vote power: Normal.
