We should increase the number of Congress representatives about 10 fold

[Le Roi de Pot]

The original ratio of Reps to people has long been thrown out the window.. Along with increasing Justices.. and granting statehood to DC& PR .. we need re-align the ratio. No one needs to be in DC and in the Capitol anymore..All voting can be done remotely.

1) Districts will be much smaller and the representatives can be more accessible. The offices will mainly be local and will increase local employment

2) Since the districts will be smaller .. less money is needed per race ..thus reducing the effect of Money. Reps will spend less time raising money and more time governing

3) Since Reps will be more scattered .. lobbyists will have a harder time manipulating votes

4) Districts will less susceptible to gerrymandering.

5) This will reduce the influence of poorly populated states that have more representatives per capital than say California or NJ

6) This will also make the electoral college a little less skewed towards rural states.


Anything else?

1. K&F'nR! Our representation is being diluted horribly

as the US population increases and as cities spread past suburbs and the exurbs and take up even more of formerly rural lands, we NEED more representation!

Not sure I'd say tenfold but certainly something proportional to population growth since the number was capped
