The real problem as I see it is that the senators are picked by popular vote meaning the urban centers make the choice for the rest of us. I think we would see considerable change if we started electing them according to how many districts won.

Here in MI we’re doing away with straight ticket voting and the democrats are screeching bloody murder. Apparently sizable chunks of their electorate won’t or can’t vote beyond the top of the ticket.

You will have to figure out how to deal with the Reynolds v. Sims decision first.

There are actually ballots where you can check a box and that box automatically votes for all Republicans or Democrats on the ballot? I am against listing party label on the ballot to begin with and am in favor of modifying the ballots so that each ballot that gets printed has a random ordering of candidates and races.
