All I mean is that more Democrats voted than Republicans.

And I see that fact as showing that we're more enthusiastic than the Republicans.

which is about 35 times Montana's, we should have 70. It way past time to extend the size of the House.

Before the latest redistricting, we had 53 and Montana 1.
Montanans I know complain, too.
