How do we calculate my vote power?
What goes into the rating for ballot measures: Representation: how much weight one vote carries here compared with a statewide vote — the smaller the district, the more each vote counts. You have more power in ballot measures because you vote directly on the policy.
Representation: Average · 50 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 1,978,707 people live here.
Show the representation math
score = 50 + 50 × ln(state population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50 + 50 × ln(1,978,707 ÷ 1,978,707) ÷ ln(50,000) = 50, measured against a statewide vote in NE (grades: 66+ high, 55+ above average, 33+ average, otherwise low; a statewide race is the 50 baseline)
Average representation + a direct vote on the policy → My vote power: Above average.
Ballot Measure
Initiative 440 would amend Nebraska's Constitution to allow laws authorizing sports wagers through an Internet-based platform offered by an authorized gaming operator, when the bettor is located in Nebraska.

A YES vote means
Nebraska could enact laws licensing, regulating, and taxing online sports wagering offered by authorized gaming operators tied to licensed racetracks.
A NO vote means
The Constitution would not receive this authorization, and Nebraska's current restriction against online or mobile sports wagering would remain.
