I think it would be fair to adjust the number of Senators from each state so that we have more proportional representation in the upper chamber.

Edit: in the USA.

"proportional representation" is the whole point of the House. The Senate gives each state equal say so that no state lacks a voice in government.

That is not how PR works. At all.
