State Representative District 74
August 4, 2026 · State House District 74; Michigan · 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: High · 80 out of 100
Smaller districts give each vote more weight, and this district is small for its type. About 89,201 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(95,071 ÷ 89,201) ÷ ln(95,071 ÷ 87,822) = 80.36, comparing state house districts in MI (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
