Aha. So what?

Well, then people in less populous regions would be better off in independent states. Better not open a Pandora's box.

Well, I am sure California and New York would be even better off as independent states. Dangerous Pandora's box indeed.

I know. I see your point too. But there needs to be as close a proximity to one man, one vote as possible.

If anything close to that happened, CA & NY could rule with no meaningful voice for the other 48, outside of violence.

I wonder when were the relative numbers of electoral votes per state last updated? In the 1950's?
