    Wyoming is also ranked in the Top 50 states, surprisingly.

      It isn’t, actually - it ranks 51st, just below Washington DC (which gets low marks for its lack of paperwork).

          Lol, I guessed. There are only so many options, so I went with one that was less crappy.

      They really should put up a house vote to fix that

        I believe that by design the House vote is what fixes it. Having one body in the legislature that is population based and the other just based on statehood makes both things matter.

          Except we broke how the house was supposed to work by freezing the number of seats in 1929. This, subsequently, also broke the electoral college and the presidency, which further down the line broke the judiciary…

          So the same congressmen who ushered in the great depression, also caused a century’s worth of political damage that’s is continually getting worse

          Exactly, the Senate exists to keep larger states from running roughshod over smaller ones, the electoral college is the problem child

    What’s with the phrasing here? If you combine the population of the other states that’s a lot of people and of course Wisconsin has less.

    I know what they are intending here, but what they intended and what they said don’t line up at all.

      It’s using the format of presenting a surprising fact to present an obvious fact. It’s intentionally silly.

      This is a joke community, and they subverted typical expectations by stating the obvious in a way that would be a surprising fact
