I think our capital, Cheyenne, and even our next biggest "cities", Casper and Laramie, are big. Then you cross into Utah and Salt Lake City is just massive.
It's not unfair at all, since we have the House to represent the people. What's unfair is that the Senate is supposed to represent the states themselves, not the people, and yet they don't do that nowadays. The states are just not represented at the federal level anymore.
@YouLoveEagle I’m really curious how you can live in Brooklyn but have never been to New Jersey, or any other state for that matter. You must not travel very far.
Not every state voted for him. Most of the people in the country didn't vote for him, either. Lowest approval ratings of any just-inaugurated president. Not to say that Americans don't have a lot to answer for right now... but I don't think the "50 answers" comment is really accurate.
The Democrats and Republicans are private political parties. Although they are (by far) the two biggest parties, their nominees for president do not necessarily correlate to the will of the American people, particularly with regard to the Democrats. The DNC made it known from the outset that it wanted Clinton to win, and that it would do what it could to help her beat Sanders. The DNC also uses "superdelegates" to counter the popular vote so that the party can nominate who it wants. Many actual voters wanted Sanders to be the candidate, but the DNC machine aligned against him. A lot of people knew it, which is part of why there was so little enthusiasm for Clinton. And look what happened as a result.
Having lived in Ohio for 8 years, I didn't guess it until there were 6 seconds left on the timer (and after I had guessed at least 10 states that didn't make the list).
There were no way for any western states to make it here except for Hawaii probably because they are freakin’ large as f*ck, and the middle states, if Hawaii wasn’t here, then just guess eastern states, they have more people then the rest of the United States, despite only having 1/3 of the U.S land or less, I would say a range from 1/3-1/4
Hawaii's not big, but--to take one example--it has more than six times the land area of Rhode Island (Source), while their populations are not that different.
US has data for standardized tests broken down by state, wouldn't be too tough to make. The usual suspects, Mississippi, Alabama, etc. The military brats living on base are broken out too, and I was mildly surprised to find they beat every state.
