As created by the U.S. Constitution, the Senate is made up of one hundred Senators divided into three classes.ย One class is elected each two years with the result that inย theย class which has no representationย in a particularย state,ย four years must pass before the voters of that state canย influence national issues through their vote in aย Senatorial election.ย ย ย ย
I suggest that a more equitable representation for everyย stateย inย the U.S. Senate would be to expand the size of the Senate to one hundred and fifty members.ย In doing so each and every state would elect a senator every two years and voter influence over current issues would not rest in the hands of those state fortunate enough to have a Senate Seat open for election in that particular election cycle.
