What’s the point of having 2? Is it any better then just having one?

More representation for our state, it is all based on population but the number for total membership is fixed. More reps = more votes = larger percentage = more power. We almost lost our second this year, so unless we start having greater population gains versus another state we may possibly lose one. Every 10 years we do a census and that census determines congressional redistricting. Which is why the census is also good to do.

Oh ok that makes more sense. I don’t see us gaining population.
