A ME-NE model would really help Republicans in OH, FL, VA, PA, MI, probably even IL. Less so in NY, OR, and CA

In Ukraine their legislature the Verkovna Rada represents the nineteen regions of the country. It has 400 members. Your point is well made.

This would increase the size of the house to about 552, using 2016 population estimates.

You could reduce corruption by requiring fair districting; keeping cities and counties intact to the extent possible, keeping communities of interest together and preventing districts which are not as compact as possible. You could withhold federal funding for those states that don’t comply. I realize that this goes against 10th amendment principles, but what can you do?
