  • Those white and light pink areas hold as much power as the most densely populated areas.

    Not exactly, in the Senate every state gets 2 votes. The presidential vote and house are weighted to population.

    The issue is both of those based on population were capped, so the less populated states get a vote that counts more than the most populated areas. So Wyoming has 1 vote in the house for a population of 580,000 and California has 52 for 39.4 million people.

    If these reps were concerned about their home state maybe this would work, but it’s all national party politics now.
