Each congressperson represents too many people.

We need to add seats to the House of Representatives.

Quintuple the number of seats in each district, use Sequential Proportional Approval Voting to elect the five members of each district.

Let’s add some seats to the Supreme Court while we’re at it.

We can't do that or Republicans will never have control of government.

I mean that's a good thing, and we'll finally have some semblance of representation, but it's exactly why we can't do it. :(
