Yes, but we are one United States of America. We can’t just remove one state’s votes Judy because we want to. One’s vote in California should count the same as one vote in Wyoming, since we are all equal citizens of the United States.
Again: thought experiment.
Of course we shouldn’t actually remove one state’s votes!
That we are equal citizens of the United States doesn’t dictate what voting system we should have. I presented one argument for keeping the present system.
(However, I do think we should expand the size of Congress which would greatly mitigate the problem of a disparity between the Electoral and Popular vote.)
