The issues are the electoral college, two senators per state regardless of population and gerrymandering. If we truly had “one person one vote”, most of these problems would be solved

1) multiple member constituencies for minority districts might actually solve a lot of problems

2) there is an section in the 14th amendment which allows states’ electoral votes and their Congressional representation to be zeroed out if they don’t play nice (basically the same as territories)

Re: 2)

The amendment says: “the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State.”

Not zero out, but rather reduce.

Regardless, the conservative SCOTUS would never enforce this anyways.
