Interesting stuff.
Is there any way to sum the House and Senate over/under representation
figures?
Thanks,

U.S.A. Government Elections, Seats Percentages versus Votes Percentages, by
States, 2001-2003

Each Democrat, Republican, Other/Nonvotes column is the Seats Percentages
minus the Votes Percentages for the office involved.
Or, in other words the effects of the 3 ANTI-Democracy indirect minority
rule
gerrymander systems in the Constitution.
Positive = Over-represented, Negative = Under-represented
S- Seats, D- Democrat, R- Republican, O/N Other/Nonvotes (for President)

States).
The district extremes in the States having 2 or more seats can be worse.
The higher O/N percentages are due in part to uncontested D or R seats.

Thus, any connection between the Votes and the Seats in electing the
Congress
and the President is a matter of gerrymander political accidents.
How soon before the U.S.A. gerrymander regime causes Civil War II, Great
Depression II and/or World War III ???
Every State has a Legislature gerrymander system somewhat like the U.S.A.
House of Representatives.
Democracy remedies-
Uniform definition of Elector in U.S.A. government elections
Proportional Representation to elect Representatives
Abolish the Senate or use p.r. to elect it
Nonpartisan nomination and election of Presidents (and other U.S.A.
executive
officers and all U.S.A. judges).
