The current system is a check that prevents individual states from dominating legislation in Congress. Why would anyone want that except for the very populous states?

The top 6 states (California, Texas, Florida, New York, Illinois & Pennsylvania effectively tied) have almost half the population and thus could dominate Congress without input from the other 44 states.

The author comes from Pennsylvania, and so this article should be seen as nothing but self-serving.

But a poll of equal number of citizens from each state would never approve such a measure.
