In 2020 there were more Republican presidential votes in California (6,006,518[1]) than there were in Texas (5,890,347[2]). The Republican votes in California basically had no say in determining the outcome of the election. Was that fair to them?
There were more GOP votes in New York state (3,251,997[3]) than in Ohio (3,154,834[4]).
