Depends if you define none as a state of existence or not. I would argue a state does not have equal suffrage if it does not have suffrage, certainly at least under the intent of the clause. As the article points out, the Senate was constructed in this manner so that large states could not trample of smaller states.

Regardless, I was glad to see the article actually pointed this out as a serious stumbling block, as opposed to other proposals I've read. The we have Sabato, who says we can just amend Article V (to change the balance of representation, not even just to abolish). I find that silly.
