It's not just geography... it's the fixed number in the House. Since 1920 every new census has disadvantaged more populous states.
It's a lack of fair apportionment. Which not only means more populous states have fewer representatives, they have fewer electoral votes.

America's political geography means Democrats are naturally disadvantaged under single-member districts even if you draw fair, neutral maps. They are less efficiently distributed, perversely punished because they have *more* voters in both safe red seats and deep blue ones.

Congress isn’t working because it isn’t truly representative. We need to expand the House and reform campaign finance so we have completely publicly funded campaigns.

#UncapTheHouse is not a magic bullet to all our problems but it would make a significant difference on a bunch of them!
Lemme offer a thought: expanding the House by a hundred seats or more would, among its other benefits, shrink each constituency enough to make it a bit harder for reps and their staffs to hide from voters.
US Rep. Kay Granger, R-Texas, hasn’t voted since July. The Dallas Express reports that it found her in a “memory care and assisted living home” after she was “found wandering lost and confused in her” old neighborhood. She is 81 and a sitting congresswoman.

If the distribution of House seats was proportional, it would be a different story. As of now, all three branches represent minority rule.

Looks like Democrats will end up ~7500 votes short of winning the House majority across three districts. That's the difference between having the power of the purse, subpoenas etc — or not — in a nation of 330+ million.

Except that the House is capped and red states have more representatives/electoral votes per person than blue states. 🤔 #UncapTheHouse

This New Yorker says 'yes', 'please', and 'thank you'.
I *hate* that we have to do this. And in doing so I hope we keep pushing to #UncapTheHouse or find some other way to end gerrymandering nationally.
But I refuse to fight with one hand tied behind our backs.

New York Dems have unveiled their redistricting amendment.
It would permanently neutralize NY’s bipartisan commission and let lawmakers reject its proposals to pass their own maps with few limits, both for Congress and the legislature.
It would specifically authorize a mid-decade congressional map
