[EM] U.S.A. Senate - more minority rule math

[DEMOREP1 at aol.com]

Some more about the indirect minority rule math of the U.S.A. Senate -- 2 
Senators per State regardless of the number of voters in each State

ALL gerrymanders (intentional or negligent --- developed over time) have 
similar below/above average math but the Senate is among the worst in a 
so-called *democratic* country.

PV  President Votes 2000 low to high, PA Percent of Average --- PV x 100 / 
Total Votes,  B/A Below or Above Average (2 minus PA if PA is less than 2, PA 
minus 2 if PA is more than 2),    PA/2   PA x 100 Percent /2

          PV            PA       B/A       PA/2
