Now lets say there are 2.5 million people in a 300 square mile area.  75 different school districts with  75 different local governments.

Why should those 5 million in a tiny little area with minimum school districts and local governments override the 2.5 covering a vast amount of space, far more school districts and far more local governments?

Maybe I am thinking about this wrong and I am willing to listen.  And I will admit my analogy may suck, but I think you get the idea I am trying to convey.

Because 5m is greater than 2.5m, and in our federal system those local school districts and governments are still beholden to the 2.5m who live in those localities, not those 5m. 

Not to mention those 5m and 2.5m are not homogenous, so they're not just two voting blocs.
