In my opinion, the “currency” of population should not be a weighting factor in a federal election.

As such I think each state should get one, and only one, vote as the “citizen” organization at the hierarchical level just beneath the federal level.

A state is a state is a state, and each is just as equal to one another, as I am just as equal to my neighbor regardless of race, religion, wealth, heath or any other factor that can divide an entity.
