    Then what you’re really saying is abolish the concept of states and have a single federal state.

      No, states still would elect a number of representatives based on their population. Just no 2 senators per state.

        Why even have states? Good way to get rid of jerrymandering would be to get rid of imaginary borders. No states, no senate necessary.

          Because state legislatures should continue to exist. If less populated conservative states want to go down a rabbit hole of far right shit then let them. Just don’t give them 2 senators per state to gridlock the states that continue to produce and provide for their population.
