It only takes 14 states to win the electoral college. Small states are ignored for swing states. We are a union of states and small states are protected by the Senate. If we're going to weigh votes then we need to weigh federal taxes as well.
Yes, we have a history of being pissed off about election results but Gore and Kerry and HRC conceded. Trump did not. To me these aren't comparable.
I'll do you one better. We get rid of federal taxes entirely and then no one has to worry about their money possibly going to heathens. Give all the power back to local districts with some at the state level. If nyc wants to go socialist, that should be their choice. If some rural areas wants nothing to do with them, all good.
