TOT   105594020   538   196271   ----   

Thus the ECV bias in favor of small States (compounding the continuous 
indirect minority rule of the small States in the U.S.A. Senate).

MN 243868/ DC 67298 = 3.62  --- not exactly 1 person = 1 vote

Note 1--- 284 ECV with CA, 52.79 percent of total votes (or, thus- a possible 
26.40 percent indirect minority rule).   A bit lower math if the States near 
the border are used instead of CA to get 270 ECV.

Revised indirect minority rule math in 2004
