Most of us think the (R)'s are wrong, on nearly everything. America needs a reboot. This isn't working. One good suggestion I've seen lately is more House seats.

Currently, every state is guaranteed at least one House seat. There are seven states with only one representative: Alaska, Delaware, Montana, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming.

Take the smallest ( in population ) of these states, and make that the apportionment population for ALL states.

That would be Wyoming, with 573,720 peeps. There are currently 435 House reps. With Wyoming as the number, CA (pop 39.56 million) which currently has 55 reps, would have 69 House representatives.
