Title: Increasing number of seats in House of Reps
Post by: sonofdaxjones on June 28, 2019, 09:16:12 AM

The House of Reps has remained almost wholly unchanged since 1930, except for a period when Alaska and Hawaii were allowed a minimum of 2 reps as they entered the union.

As the population grows the ratio of rep to people expands, it's obviously at its highest ever and will continue at that pace barring expansion or substantial depopulation (which some radical LibDerps hope for, not them of course)

Or . . . the break up of the United States which some LibDerp residents on this board hope for.

The House must be expanded. We need local representation.

Thanks for the question dad. I think it could be expanded, but to what end? Should it be the same proportion as it was in 1929? That would be a shitload of representatives. I'm pretty fine with keeping it where we are I think. I don't know that it is necessary to have hyper-localized federal representaion.

Should definitely give DC a senator though

I’d be ok with a shitload of reps.
