Keep Illinois, eject Chicago.
Likewise New York and New York. { snicker }
Yeah, I hear ya….🙂
Make large metropolitan areas into mini States with only 1 Senator. LA/SF/SD would get one Senator, the rest of the State gets 2. Seattle/Tacoma/Renton/Bellevue gets one Senator, WA state gets 2 with no votes from the metro areas... Rinse and repeat. Boise in Idaho gets 1 Senator, the rest of Idaho gets 2 Senators.
