- kentucky's mcconnell got 806,787 votes in his last election (2014).
- california's 12th congressional district representative pelosi got 275,292 votes in her last election (2018).
- approximately 138,847,000 voters voted in the 2016 presidential election.
- 806,787/138,847,000 = 0.00581
- 275,292/138,847,000 = 0.00198
granted that in a national election, mcconnell and pelosi would get some votes outside their respective kentucky and san francisco, but enough to win a national election? NO WAY!!! yet, speaker of the house and senate majority leader are major players in our national government. two powerful old timers misrepresenting the vast majority of us.
