You don’t have “one person, one vote” anyway. Rural states are over-represented in the Senate and Electoral College by design, without considering gerrymandering and other disenfranchisement tactics.
Not true at all. The minute the VRA was gutted, there were bills passed in nearly every Republican state to make it harder for PoC to vote. Look at the elections in Atlanta last month for example.

Look at the constant gerrymandering in every state.
We don't live in a "one person, one vote" country when half of the country consistently tries to make voting as hard as possible for the other half.
