Why do you ask him? YOu rehashed what he said, putting a negative spin on a very reasonable system. You can't have California drain the other states through economic superiority and then dictate political agenda on the population left in them. The political agenda benefiting California might not be suitable for Wisconsin.

Why not one person one vote? Are Californian voters less human than Rhode Island voters?

I already explained why. You just seem to refuse to see the reason.

Well, if the system is wrong how about we just change it so that each county in the country gets one vote? Win the county get the vote?
