State Representative District 14A
August 11, 2026 · State House District 14A; Minnesota · State house district · primary
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: Low · 15 out of 100
This district is large for its type, so each vote is a smaller slice of the outcome. About 45,173 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(46,237 ÷ 45,173) ÷ ln(46,237 ÷ 39,882) = 15.75, comparing state house districts in MN (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
