Still waiting for an answer to my question about why, if you believe all
your citizens are “created equal”, you don’t want their votes to count
equally?

Because the U.S. is a collection of sovereign states, not a single entity.
When the states entered the Union they did so with certain checks and
balances. Power in the United States is supposed to be bottom up. Local
government is supposed to have the most influence on its citizens, then
county, then the state, then the Federal government. The Federal government
has used extortion and tax money (they shouldn't have gotten) to attain
power that was never granted to them in the Constitution.

So the answer is, each state is its own sovereign entity and the checks and
balances in our country where designed so that no big state could run
roughshod over the smaller states.

Got it now?
