What is the point of fair voting?

Because political districts match in size and bandwidth. That means elected officials from each district speak the same language. There are two political languages in the USA, small state and large state; and the Senate is barely bilingual. Its a real problem, a real multiplier less than one and it is becoming unavoidably obvious as California fumbles Obamacare. California is converting a huge, national sized health care system into what? An overlaid huge national healthcare system? Costs will be nearly 60% higher than either of the separate systems by themselves would have been. That cost will hit California first, then bounce back and crap out the whole system.

If we had slightly more fair Senate voting then the mismatch between this huge California and those small states would not exist.
