It&#x27;s still not disproportionate. Old people don&#x27;t get more votes. They actually vote.<p>Just because there happen to be more old people, and they tend to vote more conservatively, does not mean that it&#x27;s &quot;disproportionate&quot; when they actually vote and influence policy. If all the baby boomers died tomorrow nobody would bemoan the disproportionate influence of 40-year olds in the next election.
