The Disproportionate Representation of Small States in the U.S. Senate

The average Democratic state has one senator for every 3 million people.
The average Republican state has one senator for every 1.8 million people.
In other words, Republican states have roughly 1.6 times more proportional
power than Democratic states. Purple states lean closer to the average of
Democratic states with one senator for every 2.9 million people.
