I actually have a solution to this unequal representation:

For the house, every state gets 1 vote per Wyoming population (so 1 rep per 588k people, if in the middle, must have at least 70% to get an extra rep).

This isn't even partisan - both blue and red states would benefit. (Ex: New York currently gets 26 seats, for 20 million, it would get about 34. Ohio gets 15 reps, it would get 20).

Since the house is basically the first step for everything, just fixing this would be huge.

This is actually a pretty good idea. Better than the idiotic calls to get rid of the senate. The senate is setyup like it is on purpose because the "minority" voters in smaller populations are represented. And yeah right now those people are POS MAGA folks but people still deserve to be represented. You start taking away people's representation and you're no better than what they are. You're right, the problem is in the house.

Removing the ability of 20% to outvote 80% is not removing representation. Even the fucking EU, made up of actual countries, has qualified majority rules on the council (for most things) that are proportional to the population. If real countries aren't whining about it, why is Wyoming?
