Maybe my skull is just too thick?
What is wrong with one state = one vote?
Am I missing something here?

Reynolds v. Sims may or may not apply. That's an open question.

It appears the convention is being over-lawyered before it starts.

That’s how the House of Representatives is directed to vote for President in the event that no one gets an Electoral College majority.
This is the classic dispute that they had at the Constitutional Convention. Should each state have equal representation or should they be represented according to population? Out of that dispute emerged a bicameral Congress, one house set up to represent states equally and the other set up to represent them by population.
