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 · 26 out of 100
This district is large for its type, so each vote is a smaller slice of the outcome. About 392,876 people live here.
score = 100 × ln(largest population ÷ this district's) ÷ ln(largest ÷ smallest), rounded to 2 decimals = 100 × ln(1,333,048 ÷ 392,876) ÷ ln(1,333,048 ÷ 12,630) = 26.22, comparing counties in OH (grades: 66+ high, 33+ average, otherwise low)
