76 out of over 6000 representatives is less than 2% of the total number of reps. Fact is that just one state needed to ratify it in 1790 but it was tabled. The spirit of that apportionment was held to until our government decided to freeze it at 435 by statute.
Forget the difficulties in implementation, this is a perfectly legal method to revolt against the Feds from the local level. Just need a high profile lawmaker to take up the banner.

Since such a body would shatter the current method of governance in DC, I can't imagine any current member attempting to push such a notion. I'm not saying it's either a concrete good or bad idea, but would be interesting to study. My concern would be whether having such a massive body would be productive or conducive to better government. Having more elected officials at the federal level, however, may be a hard sell to Conservatives.
