Looking at this, it makes me wonder why the founders created two Senate seats for every state instead of just one.  Does anybody know what the exact purpose of having two was?  Maybe so that they could be up in different years?  Couldn't you do the three classes with just one senator per state?

sorry for that question aside, here's my list:

AL: Britt (R)
AK: Murkowski (R)
AZ: Kelly (D)
AR: Cotton (R)
CA: Padilla (D)
CO: Hickenlooper (D)
CT: Murphy (D)
DE: Coons (D)
FL: Rubio (R)
GA: Warnock (D)
HI: Hirono (D)
ID: Risch (R)
IL: Duckworth (D)
IN: Young (R)
IA: Grassley (R)
KS: Moran (R)
KY: Paul (R)
LA: Cassidy (R)
ME: King (I/D)
MD: Cardin (D)
MA: Warren (D)
MI: Peters (D)
MN: Klobuchar (D)
MS: Wicker (R)
MO: Hawley (R)
MT: Daines (R)
NE: Fischer (R)
NV: Cortez Masto (D)
NH: Shaheen (D)
NJ: Booker (D)
NM: Heinrich (D)
NY: Schumer (D)
NC: Budd (R)
ND: Hoeven (R)
OH: Vance (R)
OK: Mullin (R)
OR: Merkley (D)
PA: Casey (D)
RI: Whitehouse (D)
SC: Scott (R)
SD: Rounds (R)
TN: Blackburn (R)
TX: Cornyn (R)
UT: Romney (R)
VT: Sanders (I/D)
VA: Warner (D)
WA: Murray (D)
WV: Moore Capito (R)
WI: Baldwin (D)
WY: Barrasso (R)

So that's a total of 25 Republicans, 25 Democrats.  Oddly enough I guess there's not much of a difference from having 100 senators.  There's also only a handful states that I can see switching party control, which tells me that there's not going to be a lot of big swings in the upcoming Senate elections in 2024, 2026, 2028, etc...  Those days seem to be over.  I also noticed from making this list that every state's Senator is exactly aligned with the state's 2020 presidential vote, which is no coincidence either.
