The city of San Diego alone could trump the state of Montana. The people of San Diego hold different values than the state of Montana. Just because Montana has a very small population, does not mean that they should not have a voice.
Oh, must have been my sick day. You are going to tell me, this is "logically" fair? Oh please, when was the last time a vote wasn't equal? hey raise your hands, say ya or nah, what? Our gov changed the meaning of the word vote to mean, hey we can move electoral colleges around within the States to swing power the way we want and devalue the voting power of other areas. Or maybe how Independents can't vote and have no say in primaries? It's not a vote, none of it is, it's a way for shit areas with moral values to control the country.
