The Senate Is Even More Anti-Democratic Than You Think | Washington Monthly New numbers on population disparities show that senators representing just 10 percent of the country can thwart majority rule.

"In 2022, 124 million people lived in CA, TX, NY, FL and PA vs. 3.6 mil from WY, VT, AK, SD, ND. Overall, the 50 senators from the 25 larger states today speak for 279 mil people, or 5.2x the 54 mil represented by the 50 senators from the 25 smaller states"
