    They are already advantaged in both the house and the senate. Why do they need advantages in literally all elections to feel they are treated fairly?

        Not quite, the number of house reps is not strictly proportional to the population of each state. California has 704,566 people per house seat, while e.g. Wyoming has 568,300 per house seat. This means a Californian house vote is worth roughly 80% of a Wyoming house vote.
