O’m surprised that a state with 1,324,575 people has 367 representatives in the house. Someone do the math, I’m too lazy.

Keep in mind that being a NH Rep. is not a fulltime paying job.
It pays $100/year plus mileage expense.

The U. S. Constitution originally stipulated that there would be one representative for every 30,000 people.

I've always thought that was a good thing.

Here in Maine, there are two representatives for 1,300,000 people.

How is it even remotely possible for a representative to be responsive to his constituents when his constituency is so enormous. It's absurd.

I say the more the better, bring on gridlock so that as little damage as possible will be done.
