On the last day of the Convention, the largest ratio of reps to citizens was increased to 1:30,000.
Today we are around 1:700,000. Every ten years apportionment goes to various courts where they contend with the Voting Rights Act and Marxist judges. It is typically a mess, with minorities screaming racism at every turn.
