Not the results, but the weight given to the results. Places with a greater population tend to get more representatives in a state or federal legislature, all else being equal. This makes sense for minors (part of voter-households, to be voters later) and noncitizens (either in voter-households, or at least with freedom of travel) but it becomes a perverse-incentive when we start talking about people forced to be in a specific region by a government that put them there and won't let them leave. |
