You'd think that conservatives would be in favor of each citizen's vote being equal to the others.
They seem to think that equality is important in other areas.
In some scenarios, it is a bedrock principle for them.
But not in other scenarios.
Odd.
every citizens vote is equal to each and every other vote cast WITHIN THAT STATE
we then calculate the STATES votes (called the EC) to determine the winner of the presidency
we are not a democracy....nor will we ever be a straight democracy
the popular vote ONLY counts within the states borders....nowhere else
otherwise the coastal cities and larger populations would control the whole country, even though they only control a small portion of the land
those people in the middle of the country raising wheat and corn....their vote and their states count too
