Part of the problem is that each House representative now represents roughly 760,000 constituents. Back in 1793 that number was roughly 34,000.

It takes money to get your campaign messages out to 760,000 people. So now collecting huge political donations is their Job 1. I really don’t see how this can be fixed.

That would make the House just under 10,000 members. I think that would be a number two high for the Deep State to buy off.

Add more seats. Go to 876 seats and cut their districts in half.
