Reynolds v. Sims, 377 U.S. 533 (1964) - Alabama had one state senator per county, regardless of population, for exactly the reason you describe, and it was declared unconstitutional. It's been tried. Was the ruling wrong? I think so- states should be able to determine their own types of representation. Are you likely to get it overruled without Congressional action? No.

Different time...different court...different circumstances as you're describing something that happened in the deep South during the peak of the civil rights movement.

This wouldn't stop the Left from trying, trying and trying again. Republicans never even try.
