Thank you ! ! Yes I hope after the holidays things will be better . I love the theme exchanges . My kids get involved in those depending on their interest . We sign up through my account and do the gift for our match as a family . <| sep |> Rural voters get a disproportionate amount of power because there are few people that live there . Every state gets three representatives guaranteed . This means that states without many people are over represented , not necessarily rural people as a whole . Both California and Texas have many rural areas where few people live , but they don ' t get over represented . They get vastly under represented because the state they live in has a ton of people . Someone in a big city in North Dakota is in an urban area but is still over represented because they live in a state with few people . If minorities wanted to become over represented they could move to a state with fewer people .
