If that ever happened then New York, Caw-lee-fornia, and Florida and just a few other states would be all that's needed to elect a president. All a presidential candidate would need to do is ensure that those states "would get well cared for" as a campaign promise... all other states need not apply or vote, so they would loose voice in the governance of our nation.

Also, you'd find more and more liberals moving to those states, knowing that by concentrating their power they could rule and we would no longer be a democracy.

Do you really think enough 'liberals' or 'conservatives' would move to influence the outcome of an election. Are you planning on doing this - I'm not.

The priciple of "one man - one vote" seems to get squashed by the Electoral College, but the debate of 'big' states vs. 'small' states is as old as the country itself. Every 4 years, for some strange reason, this topic comes up. And, the year of discussion tends for some strange reason with presidential election years.
