Citizens in the US don’t have a constitutional right to vote. States are granted electors based (roughly) on their population that can vote and are given broad authority in how to determine how these electors are selected.

Additionally, they are dependent on the same reinsurance providers that other for profit insurance providers are which is already more expensive for them because of the smaller risk pool.
