How did the McCarthy era affect Americans?

All communists were unemployed. The only way for a "communist" to stay out of jail, or to keep a steady job, was to give names of other "communists". Since many of the accused were not truly communists, they did not know any other communists. This caused many innocent people to be accused.

It caused the blacklisting of actors, actresses, writers, directors, etc. in the film Industry because of the Red Scare.

McCarthyism was a campaign, led by Senator Joseph McCarthy, against alleged communists in the US government and other institutions. Some of its effects were the loss of jobs, the fear and trauma it caused for the victims and the stifling of progress and individual expression.

Does California have the same representation as Wyoming in the US Senate?

California has the highest population of any state, about 37 million people. Wyoming is the least populous US state with only about 560,000 residents.

Both California and Wyoming have the same number of US Senators (2), so the number of individuals representedby a California senator is much greater than the number of individuals represented by each Wyoming senator.

At the same time, California has more US Representatives(53) than Wyoming (1) in the House. Here, again, the number of individuals represented by a California representative (around 700,000) is much larger than the number represented by the single Wyoming delegate (560,000). This disparity is caused by the fact that each state is guaranteed one member of the House.

This results in each citizen of Wyoming having a slightly higher proportional representation in the US House, and a much larger proportional representation in the US Senate.

The entire electoral college does not meet together in one place. Electors meet in their respective state capitals (electors for the District of Columbia meet within the District) on the Monday after the second Wednesday in December, at which time they cast their electoral votes on separate ballots for president and vice-president. Each state then forwards the election results to the President of the U.S. Senate, the Archivist of the United States, the state's Secretary of State, and the chief judge of the United States district court where those electors met. A joint session of Congress takes place on January 6 in the calendar year immediately following the meetings of the presidential electors. The electoral votes are officially tabulated at the joint session of Congress and the winner of the election is officially declared.
