Kavanaugh was nominated by a candidate who lost the popular vote by 3 million+ votes. The 49 Senators who voted 'No' on Kavanaugh represent 181.8 million Americans. The 51 Senators who voted 'Yes' represent 143.2 million. Our political system is broken.

Since I checked the numbers before retweeting (since I do that): Using the census 2017 population estimates (adding exactly, then rounding), I get 181.45 million for the No senators and 143.58 million for the Yes senators. Seems close enough, but curious why a bit different.
