History lesson: due to a law passed in 1929[0] the size of the House of Representatives is capped. Because states can't have less than one house member this means a vote in the midwest can be worth up to 3x a vote on the coast. Further compounding this issue, a state's electoral college vote count is equal to it's total congress members (2 senate + house) so that swings the pendulum even further toward the low population states.

This is how, in 2016, despite more actual people voting democrat in the president, house, and senate races, the party lost control of all three. [1]

Allow the total members in the house to expand so all districts have more equal members, and we can finally stop bending over backwards for a minority of citizens who insist we stay socially and economically in the 1950s.
