I personally have become a fan of the Wyoming Rule for the House. That seems fair without getting into crazy sizes.

I mean, if the US had representation in the same proportion as the UK, they'd have roughly 3300 representatives. The town I grew up currently has a population of 1500. So I can see why we wouldn't do that.



That’s not the problem though. Having an elected member represent a larger number of people is fine. However having a rural candidate represent less voters than an urban candidate is terrible.

Wherever you vote it should be worth the same.

The system hasn’t kept pace with demographic changes.
