How did the new electoral law impact the representation of Baden-Württemberg in the Bundestag?

The new electoral law disproportionately affected Baden-Württemberg, resulting in six CDU constituency winners being excluded from parliament. This is because the new system prioritizes party-list representation, leading to situations where directly elected candidates lose out. Three constituencies lack parliamentary representation entirely due to this effect.
