A bigger issue is that there are far too few representatives in the House. With more reps (say 1:50000) there would be room for more diverse views to be heard and represented (and likely additional parties).

As it stands right now, it is impossible for one person to reasonably represent the views of 1M people.

Edit: also Eectoral votes are tied to the number of representatives + senators + DC, so there could be an effect there too.
