I’m not so sure I buy that argument. Larger states have more elected congressional officials balanced by smaller states having more senate votes per state person. The electoral college still gives heavier weights to states by population. Ultimately, from a game theory and incentive prospective, a state should try and be a battle ground state in order to get more political attention. This likely happens only when the state is suffering from more turmoil or problems. If the problems persist, people can move to a new state.
