The American Electorate 
And Its Representation In The U.S. Senate

3.15% of the U.S. population controls 20.00% of the U.S. Senate.

Hugely disproportionate power also translates to The Electoral College: for example, Hillary Clinton recieved 3.55% more popular votes than Trump... but lost the 2016 presidential election.
