- jerf 13y agoThe line between "Republican" and "Democrat" moves, which is why it tends to be so close to 50% (all things considered) for so long. If the line becomes lopsided in one direction or the other, the parties shift.

But for the short term, remember that in the U.S., representation is not entirely proportional to population. Voters in Wyoming have quite a bit more influence than those in California due to how the Senate and electoral college works, and voters in Iowa have more influence than either due to the whole interaction between media and the election process.
