And oddly, an explicitly 'proportional Senate' is potentially quite a bit less proportional than the Electoral College, even though the E.C. includes the explicitly non-proportional Senate in the number of electoral votes by state — PolitiTweet.org

I did look at this once. It wasn't as different as you might expect -- a 'proportional' Senate is still quite biased toward the GOP, for the same reason that the Electoral College is quite biased against Dems despite being more proportional than the Senate https://t.co/v5QYwgcUs5 — PolitiTweet.org

Has anyone done the math of what the Senate would look like today under Madison's Virginia Plan?

That's because every state would presumably be entitled to one Senator. If there are 100 members, many small states are still getting excessive representation with their one Senator. IE: Wyoming would be 1% of a 100 member Senate v. 0.6% in today's E.C. and 0.17% of non-DC pop — PolitiTweet.org
