Maine hardly counts as "an entire state" by population anyway! 1.3 million? Oooooh, that's like... San Diego!

The amount of people doesn’t define what a state is.

Sadly true, that's why the Senate is so fucking misrepresentative. And the Electoral College.

Still, I'll put up with my lack of equal federal voting power for the benefits of living in California.

I was just cocking a snook at the clickbaity headline.

And Maine.
