Aren't each of your counties the same population? If not, your system is beyond a joke. Still, the best guy won. Get your foreigners out before you aren't Americans anymore.


The legislative districts (of the representatives in Congress) are the same population, roughly.
There are 435 such districts. Some might be composed of counties (share some boundaries),
but counties are not national divisions, rather are state divisions.

When you say 'the best guy won', I presume that's just locker-room talk.
