How do you count 3/5ths of a vote?

Seems to me like the actual ratio of votes counted is more like 4:1

Looks like they’ve been making up for it in the past few elections...

And, lefties - the 3/5ths actually LOWERED THE VOTING POWER OF THE SLAVE STATES.

Get it?

Counting non-voting slaves as “population” would have increased the number of House members...
Anyone home McFly?
