Yes, we absolutely need to increase the size of the House. For one thing, if House size were increasing in proportion to population growth, it would become logistically impossible for to gerrymander to any great degree in most states. It would also greatly reduce the structural advantage that small rural states have in the electoral college, thus making it nearly impossible to win the electoral college while losing the popular vote.

Given the size of the US population, the House should be somewhere around 1500 members. In which case House seats would account for 93.6% of the electoral votes.

@Condor-e5t It would change the winner in 2000 and 2016, ie both times that a popular vote loser was elected President.

@Dr.ChrisThompson If anything, the size of the House ought to be more than tripled. Given the size of the US population, the House of Representatives is tiny.

@Homer4prez13 District sizes should be based on the idea that even the smallest state should have at least 3 House seats. There should never be a state with more Senators than Representatives.

@Dr.ChrisThompson It baffles me that Emma didn't understand this. Makes her seem deeply unserious.
