I guess you didn't take time to read the quotes I provided from our founding fathers, and in particularly

“The proportion of taxes are fixed by the number of inhabitants, and not regulated by the extent of the territory, or fertility of soil”3 Elliot’s, 243,“Each state will know, from its population, its proportion of any general tax” 3 Elliot’s, 244 ___ Mr. George Nicholas, during the ratification debates of our Constitution.

Now, go back to the top of the thread and take note of all the documentation I took the time to post.

I have read it all, and it is ALL profoundly irrelevant to the question of Representation, or the allocation of Electors.

Your insistence on the absurd is revealing of a profound lack of understanding of the Constitution, first of all, but even more so an inability to comprehend meaning in written language.
