The Congress of the United States is made up of 2 houses, The Senate and the House Of Representatives. Each state is represented in the Senate by 2 senators, regardless of that state's population. The amount of representatives (congressman) that each state sends to the House of Representatives is determined by the population of that state. The Electoral College is made up of delegates equal to the amount of representatives + the 2 senators that each state has in Congress. The population districts for representation in the House Of Representatives are heavily gerrymandered by the local political bosses. SOL ZELLER
