And they get an electoral vote for every senator and member of the House, so you have Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota
每個參議員和眾議院都占有一張選舉人票，所以蒙大拿，懷俄明，南達科他
North Dakota with 3 electoral votes, now from the Democratic side, you also have Delaware, Vermont
北達科他都有3張選舉人票，而支持民主黨的小人口州則有德拉華州，佛蒙特州
District of Columbia, so there are sort of sum balancing, but overall this is to the Republican's advantage

the easternmost congressional district in Nebraska. It doesn't look like that right now but it's possible

當然，這是根據10年的統計數據繪制的數據統計導致時間滯后，你會發現這10年中讓你看發生了很大變化
It takes time to catch up
需要時間去跟蹤這些數據
but what we have really been seeing in the electoral college is a drop in the electoral votes for states like Michigan
但我們的確發現人口變化一些州的選舉人票下降了，如密歇根州
