In all my government studies, I have never come across any citation that states that Senators only represent the people who voted for him or her.

Umm, that's the nature of a democratic republic. That's why the majority selects the representative, and representing that majority would constitute representing the state.
I thought this would be a pretty obvious point. Especially considering that it is completely impossible to represent all of the diverse viewpoints held in a state.
