I guess surface area is supposed to be more representative than actual population... or something...

Geographically diversified interests.
Spatial representation was very important back when it took months to cross the country.
Not sure if that balance should hold up today, it's an interesting question and discussion.
Ends up being an Urban VS Rural fight.

This meme doesn't even make any sense. So because the physical land you occupy is larger, that means your vote should count for more? You've positioned your physical human bodies further apart, therefore you should have more say? I don't really understand how this map supports your argument. People are minuscule on the scale of the US, and I don't see why a person's physical size on a map (or in person) should affect how much their vote counts.

This must be a Civics 101 course from Trump University. You must be an alumnus.

It's not that they are farther apart. They are the same distance between each other. They simply need more room.
I expect we will soon ditch the electoral college and votes will be measured by the pound.

The best part is all the trump supporters were ready to blame the electoral college on trump losing before he won. Now they all love the electoral college.
