Sure, but compare the relative power of a CA state representative or the governor to those of Wyoming. CA environmental or privacy regulations for instance often function as de facto national law because the consumer market is so large. Rectifying the imbalance of senators would almost certainly see CA lose that overwhelmingly undemocratic power (~12% of US population - democrats who write the laws are maybe 60% of that subset so 7 million voters). edit: CA accounts for 15% of the US GDP
