Together, they have eight senators, six who represent the entire county, and two who represent Durham or Wake and a second county. Under the proposal, Durham and Wake combined would have two. Meanwhile, 46 other counties that include about 1.38 million people would have 23 senators. Tyrell County and Hyde County, if they are paired,have about 8,200 people. They would have as many senators as Wake County, population 1.1 million. The value of each voter’s vote in Tyrell and Hyde Counties would be 148 times the value of a Wake County’s resident’s vote.
