That logic doesn't work. It can be applied in reverse to invalidate your point:

Why would California have joined a union of states where their votes mean 1/4 of Wyoming's?

Sure, California's votes may mean less on a per capita basis, but if you're asserting that California is under-represented compared to Wyoming on a national basis, you're going to have to give some supporting evidence there. That's a pretty wild claim.
