One State=One Vote

[DrScholl]

This logic was used at lower levels of government and struck down in Reynolds vs. Sims. There were states that were allocating state senate seats as one per county. In California, Los Angeles County had one state senate seat, which was the same as the rural counties with incredibly small populations. Clearly, that gave sparsely populated areas an advantage just for being incorporated as opposed to being populated.

Under a one state-one vote rule, a partisan Congress could admit Palmyra Atoll, Baker Island and other uninhabited islands to the union, have a few people establish "residency" there and stack elections in their favor.
