That’s why we need 6-8x more congress critters so there’s a 100K : 1 ratio instead of the 700K :1 now. gerrymandering would not be a factor. 435 is not sacrosanct. Perhaps we should be asking why they stopped at 435 100 years ago.
“Perhaps we should be asking why they stopped at 435 100 years ago.”
100% agreed. Sizing the house properly solves everything from gerrymandering to the two party stranglehold. I don’t think you’d need term limits either ... turnover in the House would be pretty high since being one of 6K to 8K wouldn’t wield much power.
I think the 435 limit is *the* thread we need to pull on to restore sanity to DC. It’s always best to dilute power in the lower ranks. With every year that passes, Representatives get more powerful ... that has to end.
