Nice graphic ... HOWEVER, lookin a tad deeper, it ignores about 50% of 'the rest of the story' ...

Seven states have zero Republican U.S. House representatives in the 119th Congress (2025-2027): Connecticut, Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, New Mexico, and Rhode Island.

Of these seven states, none have a Republican U.S. Senator. All their U.S. Senators are either Democrats or Independents who caucus with Democrats (e.g., Vermont’s Bernie Sanders is not included in the Democratic column but caucuses with them).

...
Summary of Voter Numbers:
Total Democratic Voters: ~3,074,199
Total Republican Voters: ~2,063,418
Ratio (Republican to Democrat): Approximately 0.67 (67 Republicans per 100 Democrats).

Looks like 33% of voters in those states get NO representation, eh ?

...now, the rest ...

Grok: Please include the unaffiliated/other total in the Summary of Voter Numbers.

Summary of Voter Numbers:Total Democratic Voters: ~3,074,199
Total Republican Voters: ~2,063,418
Total Unaffiliated/Other Voters: ~5,742,199

See how easy 'tis to misuse numbers - just phrase the questions to get the answer one desires.
