Arizona voters are the most powerful voters in this year’s Presidential Election. In a presidential election, voter power varies widely by state. While all votes are theoretically counted equally — one person, one vote — the choices of swing-state citizens, like Arizonans, are more influential.
With the presidential election just a few weeks away and voters’ influence varying across state lines, the personal-finance website WalletHub conducted an in-depth analysis of 2016’s States with the Most & Least Powerful Voters. WalletHub’s analysts compared the relative clout of 2016 voters in swinging the presidential and Senate races. In order to make such a comparison, they calculated a Voter Power Score for each state and for each type of election.
