Yes, but which Senator do I have the power of voting out of office if I
didn't live in a 95% Republican state?
If the Senator isn't in my district then I just get to watch helplessly
as other people put him back into office. Not that this changes much in
my own equally 95% Republican district, mind you.
Yes, they both represent the entire state, but theoretically any given
Kansan can only take *one* of the Senators to task for not doing what
that individual Kansan wanted them to do, and the other Senator is free
to ignore that given Kansan's angry letters.
