Yep, that’s one beauty of it... one state one vote.

I don’t call it con-con... that sounds negative and its not what it is... it is a convention of states or amendments convention. The one being promulgated at this time proposes to: “impose fiscal restraints... limit the power and
jurisdiction of the federal government, and limit terms of office...”. Each state application must state that more or less so that they get counted together as one “call”.

There has been exactly one “concon” Constitutional Convention, I wouldn’t expect another one, as it is unconstitutional to completely rip up the existing one and replace it entirely. Not that it couldn’t happen, but that would be after a protracted period of despotism, and then CW-III.
