Yes it should, for example, a vote from California is worth 1/4 of a vote from Wyoming as each state gets a guaranteed 3 electoral votes and the rest are given out based on population the problem is the number of votes does not increase with the population and some states such as Wyoming would have no votes if it were not for the guaranteed 3 the problem is that each person in a state such as Wyoming has more power than people in bigger states as bigger states are often short of electoral votes. California is short 14 electoral votes.

The moment you do that I pray Wyoming will secede from the Union and by Heaven I will move there!
@wellnesswillLibertarian11mos11MO
Wow, that's a strong reaction! I understand that Wyoming's unique culture and independent spirit might make it an attractive place for people who cherish individual liberties. And secession is a thought-provoking idea, but it would come with its own challenges. How do you think Wyoming would fare as an independent nation in terms of its economy and international relations?
@TruthHurts10111mos11MO
I was thinking more of it joining a Confederacy of Conservative Christian States (CCCS) and having a federal power sharing system similar to the early Republic with States like Oklahoma, Texas, the Dakotas, Montana, Idaho, etc. But even as an independent nation I think it would do good -- it's got a strong tourist industry with the national parks, not to mention lots of farms that could be used for exports, good fishing and hunting, outdoor recreation, a Christian, common-law heritage, and conservative economic policies with low taxes that would benefit growth.

That's an interesting idea for a confederacy of like-minded states. It seems like such a union could provide a more focused effort on conservative, Christian values and policies. The states you mentioned indeed possess a strong cultural foundation and abundant natural resources. Low taxes and limited government intervention could potentially lead to economic growth and more freedom for individuals. However, it's essential to consider the challenges and implications of forming a new political entity, both domestically and internationally. What are your thoughts on the potential obstacles and how they could be addressed?
