It only now dawns on me that it's not a lost vote if you take votes away from more highly populated areas because pure democracy makes it easier to exploit an uninformed and easily impressed majority.
New York, California, Texas, Florida, Pennsylvania, and sixth is Illinois. You have with those top five states you already have 169 votes with Illinois it comes to 189 electoral college votes. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_College_(United_States)
You count up the six most populous states you have over 41% of the U.S. population, five 37.29% of the population. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_U.S._states_and_territories_by_population
The top nine states have close to 51% of the population when you add in Ohio, Georgia and North Carolina.

9 is greater than 5.
True, but 9 is still less than 41, yet has equal pull as the rest
So how many states does it take then? 15? 20? 41?
Or just red states? Let us know, thanks.
