    Each district is roughly 700k people. A few districts are bigger, a few are smaller.

    California could completely dominate the US House of Representatives and the electoral college.

    A state becomes more powerful by having more people.

    California has much much more power than Wyoming, even tho each voter in Wyoming might have a tiny bit more power than each voter in Cali.

      Yeah, but it’s not just Wyoming. It’s all the little flyover states all teaming up against big bad California, and using their disproportionate electoral power to do so - it’s the reason we’ve had multiple presidents that lost the electoral college, after all.
