This is important to understand.
Also, hat tip to Jay Weatherbee in his comment in response to another commenter who basically asked, "why not just go by the popular vote in the first place?"
“Rep by pop is the norm in most western democracies, which tend to be the size of California. You may find our system puzzling, because you clearly do not understand it's purpose. Our system is not written to benefit the elite -- universal suffrage should make that obvious to you. It's written to protect our smaller states from being ignored in favor of the larger ones. We are the United STATES. It's no different than letting the different countries of the EU all have an individual vote.”
