Imagine a tiny geographical area that punches above its weight (economically-speaking). Its people pay a ton in taxes, take very little from the government, but they also have disproportionately large voting power.
While this setup is blatantly undemocratic, it could be hard to argue that their voting power should be reduced when they're contributing more to the pot than they're taking out. A bullshit justification to someone who actually values democracy, but this logic isn't entirely insane. Indeed, this scenario is reality in some places on earth.
America, as we all know, is nothing like this.
The smaller states take more than they give. There is no excuse to not make their votes count the same as everyone else's.
