Fact: next year, Dems will represent 51% of all House seats but just 16% of the nation's land area, the smallest geographic footprint of any majority in modern history.

I can't do much to prevent the "land doesn't vote" reply ppl from taking the above pejoratively, but it's really not. It's an illustration of how density-driven (urban/suburban) Dems' coalition has become, and that's irrefutable.

@Redistrict It's a good thing the preamble is "We the people" and not "We the acreage".

@Redistrict @JedediahBila Time to rethink the โ€œone man, one voteโ€ doctrine. At this point, itโ€™s clearly erroneous.

@Redistrict @BlueBoxTraveler Thatโ€™s because they made the Democrat districts tiny. Itโ€™s artificial. The rest of the space is empty.

@Redistrict @benshapiro So many fools commenting gave no idea why rural areas need protection against cities that would willing and literally dump all over them if they could. Farmland, coal mines, and the rest matter even if LA/NYC doesnโ€™t care about them.

@Redistrict But 70% of GDP: TheHill/Brookings: Biden wins America's economic engines (70% of GDP) More than a third of the residents in Biden counties are nonwhite (35%) and college-educated (36%). In Trump counties, just 15% are nonwhite, & only 25% have a degree.

@Redistrict @ElectionMapsCo This used to bother me. But not anymore - beyond the aesthetics of an unzoomed map. The United States is not a rural country and hasn't been for a long time. Do we spill ink on how few large cities are represented by Republicans?

@Redistrict @HesAGem SO? The House isn't about geography, but population. This is as silly as people who complain RI's Senators are as influential as CA's or TX...

@Redistrict Where's the problem? The House was literally meant to represent human population, not land. Representing the states and their land mass is the Senate.

@Redistrict Fact: Five of the 435 House seats (Alaska, Montana, Wyoming, and the Dakotas) account for more than one-fourth of the nation's land area, heavily skewing any statistic like this.

@Redistrict How low could that number get after 2022? A lot of the Dems' vulnerable House seats are also geographically large: NV-3, NV-4, AZ-1, IA-3, WI-3, ME-2.

@Redistrict I live in California. 40 million people. About the same as all of Canada. We get 2 Senators. Same as Wyoming which has a total population of 600,000. Is this true representation???
