"The number of representatives for each state is determined by the number of people in each state,"

Yes and no. One wonders what the House and Electoral College would look like, and how they would function, if we stayed with the original one representative per 30,000 people.

We have added almost 200 million new Americans since the size of the House was frozen at its current 435. What kind of "peoples" representation is this?
