That is so ridiculous. My congressperson (Barbara Lee) won her election with 260,580 votes vs 34,257 for her opponents, so she's representing almost ten times as many people as Reinbold is. I don't understand this. Isn't the House supposed to have representation proportional to population (unlike the highly undemocratic Senate). I don't understand why this discrepancy exists. Is it because each state gets a minimum number of congresspersons no matter what their population?
I think this is a state Representative, not federal.
