But not the same as voters in other states. Voters in California, New York, Florida, Texas and the like have much less of a vote than those in Wyoming, Vermont, Montana, Alaska and the like.

Fact is that a Wyoming vote is MUCH more powerful than a CA vote. This is inherently unfair and anti-democratic,

Supporting democracy and the will of the people has nothing to do with supporting succession.

And if CA seceded (which will never happen) the ironic thing would be that it would be closer to American ideals than the rest of the country. It would be the "real" U.S., with far more direct democracy.
