See Scotus’ 1964 Reynolds v. Sims ruling.

Citing a non-existent “one man one vote” principle, eight Warren Court black-robes ruled that state legislative districts must be of approximately equal populations.

At the time, Senator Dirksen of Illinois warned that Chicago would come to dominate Springfield. He was right; due to Reynolds, Illinois is near bankruptcy and losing population as people flee high taxes, higher unemployment, and societal destruction.

If Your State is a Mess.

It definitely needs to be revised and repealed if the right test case can be found! It would solve a lot of problems for a dozen states or so.
