RE: Proportional Representation Re: Winner Takes All

[Bemmzim]

But what about the senate? Yes, your vote had the same selective power
as any other vote for the senator in that state, but when your senator
votes he/she is voting for or against an issue with power that is
irrespective of population and totally determined by arbitrary lines on
a map. The vote of a senator from Alaska has the same power as the vote
of a senator from California, even though they represent a vastly
different number of people.

Isn't that another example?
The Senate is the thing that protects the interests of the states. We don't 
need the electoral college precisely because the way elect senators insures 
that the small population states are given additional leverage.
