Tax revenues which pay for federal services like the armed forces, led by the president, aren't equally contributed by each state. The day that happens is the day Wyoming's vote can be equal to California. It'd also be the day California succeeds from the union.

For example in the current contest if it plays out as expected the likely winner will defeat the loser by 4 million votes and your methodology would hand the 4 million vote loser the win. Indeed this would become the norm
