“I don’t value staying informed in most politics, simply because I want to understand the big picture and get frustrated when our country tends to focus on lots of more trivial issues when it comes to political coverage.”

“The issues should be presented in a simpler manner. I think many times the political issues in this country as explained in the news, the paper etc. as if we were all politicians.”

“One of the main things that turns me away from politics is that it seems like you need to know things to understand what is going on. It’s often difficult to get simple explanations.”

data from 2010 U.S. Census Hawaii 2

The legislative branch of the U.S. government is made up of two parts, the Senate and the House of Representatives. The two together are called the Congress, and are equal partners in deciding legislature. Each state has two senators that represent it in Washington D.C., for a total of 100 members. The number of representatives a state has is relative to the state’s population (the number noted on the map) with each state having at least one representative. There is a total of 435 members in the House of Representatives. After each census (every 10 years) the number of representatives is redistributed if there was significant population shifts. The number of seats in the electoral college that a state receives is the number of representatives plus two.
