You are right to the extent that the interests of those on the losing side of an election are not represented by the winning candidate. But, hey, what can ya do? Someone's gotta lose.

True, but, by allowing a candidate to coast to victory on the votes from one area, that causes the rest of the State's interests to be ignored. Why should they pay any attention to outstate? The outstaters' votes couldn't unseat the Senator, even if they were all for the opponent.

I understand your point. I hear the same thing in NYC, that those who live on the westside don't have the interests of those who live on the eastside at heart, and all of them don't care at all about those who live downtown.

Your argument suggests that we should have smaller states. The boundaries we have now need not remain the same forever. I'm fine with 100 states rather than 50.
