Disingenuous. That's 21 states and 42 senators.

Now do representatives, which was originally supposed to match population distribution.

Alaska and Hawaii what?

From context I assume you mean they have a different number of senators? One? None?

You counted 21, but that didn't include Alaska and Hawaii. That's how OP got 23 states / 46 senators.

Derp. I didn't actually count them, I just divided 46 by two and got... 21 :-/

TYVM.

Not sure why Hawaii is included in this meme. Hawaii has only had 1 Republican senator since it became a state in 1959.
