They arrived at the 435 figure because that’s what they felt the room could comfortably hold. Install benches.

The only bench is the benchmark….no representative can represent more than the representative representing the least populated state. PERIOD.

The least populated state gets one rep. That’s the baseline. If it gets two, then one rep represents the max number allowed to be represented. Etc We should have thousands of representatives given our population. A rep representing more than a million people? WTF? That’s not representing people.

The House is supposed to represent the people, not the states. If Wyoming is entitled to 1 rep because it's got the lowest population, Vermont shouldn't get 2X the reps because it's got 66,226 more people. States are represented in the Senate.

WTF are you talking about? Why should a rep in Wyoming only have to represent 580k people but one in California has to represent 50% more??? You think that’s fair? Equitable? Representative of the people? Especially when there’s only one rep in Wyoming. There’s 53 in Cali. WTF???

The people of Cali are getting 53 times more screwed than if Wyoming got one and VT got 2 because they’re only 68000 people more. Fuck Wyoming and you still have a far more representative government than current.

I am well aware of our constitutional government and how it’s structured.

So you keep adding more reps to Wyoming until that breaks down to a much closer margin. It’s not rocket science. It’s basic math. If it means we have 6000 reps in the house in order to get the difference between reps and what they represent near zero or an acceptable margin, why not?

If it requires thousands of reps to get that to where all reps are representing about the same number of people, what’s wrong with increasing the house to that size?
