What is wrong with the senate?


Do you see anything wrong with this? Maybe it could be corrected by combining some of the lesser populated states? North, Dakota, South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho, and Utah would make a nicely populated state. Vermont, Maine, and New Hampshire would still be a small state. While we are at it, just give Rhode Island as a county to Massachusetts; Delaware and Maryland to Virginia and throw in West Virginia for good measure.
