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

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

Redoing this, the Democrats would see some modest gains in a proportional Senate. The median proportional Senate seat would have been Wisconsin, just as it was in the Electoral College. IRL, the median Senate seat is GA (if Dems hold VP tiebreak) or NC (if GOP holds VP) — PolitiTweet.org
