Senators represent the entire state, sweetheart.

First off, I didn't say senators, I said representatives, as in the House of Representatives. And only people from the district that elected the rep. should be attending that town hall.

But with that said, just like you said, the same thing applies to senators. For a senator, their "district" is the state that elected them. So if it is a senator that is having the town hall, then only people from that state should be at the town hall.

And to bring this back to my original post in this thread, "carding" people that attend these town halls seems to be an easy way to determine if the people are actually residents of the districts or states of the elected official. I bet if that happened, we'd find out that people from outside the districts/states (especially districts) are attending these town halls.

ETA: And my response that you replied to was a response to the notion that all house and senate reps are there to represent the entire nation. As you stated, that is not the case. They are there to represent the people that elected them, which when done properly, ends up serving the interests of the nation as a whole.
