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

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

So the Democrats would still have a harder time taking the chamber than winning the popular vote. But they probably gain a little more than the shift in the mean-median gap makes it seem: The 25 Biden states would now be worth 56 seats, up from 50. — PolitiTweet.org
