Of course they would campaign to reach the maximum number of people.

Are you familiar with the one person/one vote principle? (also known as political equality) You know, like other countries use?

In california, a person's vote is only a fraction of the power of a vote in Wyoming in a presidential election... why should a cowboy's voice count more? This remnant of allowing slave states protection against the majority has long since outlived its usefulness.

The principle of minority rule is how apartheid was a fixture for so long in South Africa.

We have it now in the US, the dems are the majority but they are gerrymandered and electorally shut out by the republican minority. Of course, you being against equality is not exactly news.

Completely overlooks the Senate and House seats that presidential candidates strive to coattail on or provide coattails for.

How could you overlook that? Oh I forgot, that's how you roll.
