One option for a more representative Congress would be the adoption of the "Wyoming rule" for the U.S. House, in which the least populous state is assigned one House seat, and every other state is assigned a multiple number of seats based on its own population relative to the least state.

Based on the 2020 Census, the U.S. House would have 573 members as shown on the map below.

@wesdym I am all in favor of moves to . Personally, I like the where the least populated state sets the ratio of voter to representative, and each state gets multiplications of that based on their population. According to the 2020 Census we’d have 573 House members.

The U.S. House of Representatives has been frozen at 435 members for a century due to the Reapportionment Act of 1929, and its size is too small for our growing population. I support the . The standard representative-to-population ratio should be that of the smallest state, which is currently Wyoming. Each state would get the total number of Congressmembers based on multiples of this ratio. The U.S. House would have 573 members.
