It is. The parent to which I'm replying is engaging in lazy, conspiratorial thinking and illogical rhetoric.
They write:

> but in practice Rupert Murdoch has fat more political sway than anyone on this thread precisely because of his wealth
So they equate "one man one vote" to "political sway", two very different things. Nowhere is equal "political sway" enshrined in the U.S. Constitution. Whereas, "one man, one vote" is, absolutely. And "one man, one vote" is not theoretical. It is literally in force and practiced.
