Ezra Klein mentions the Elephant

All that said, while Bremen has almost fourteen times as much representation in the Bundesrat as North Rhine-Westphalia, this still pales in comparison to the California/Wyoming divide in the U.S. Senate, with Wyoming having almost 68 times as much representation as California. Ezra comparing German and American elections
It always nice to hear from a pundit, even in passing, who recognizes that some 30% of the US electorate is robbed of their vote. Our public school teachers are trained to whitewash this problem. Note the number, 68 time. That is a huge variation, likely causing multipliers to be below 1.0. Just goes to show, neither party believes in Democracy.
By the way, for Mexicans demanding an end to voter discrimination, I  suggest you stop talking to East Coast liberals,  They have no intention of granting you folks the vote.
