Dustin, Florida used to be like that in the 1950's - the panhandle counties with 3,000 voters trumped Miami Dade with 400,000. I grew up in segregated Florida and in the 1950's the panhandle counties were called the "Pork Chop Gang."
The Supreme Court limited this however in 1964 Reynolds v. Sims. This landmark ruling established the principle of "one person, one vote" and required that state legislative districts be roughly equal in population. The decision aimed to ensure fair representation and address the issue of rural vote dilution.
I happen to agree with you because rural districts in Oregon, Colorado, New York, Illinois are oppressed. But it will take SCOTUS looking at the question again. And let's not go into politics. Prefer to deal with concrete history and engineering.
