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

The cap on the House violates the principle of one person, one vote. With the uneven distribution of seats, some votes for representatives carry more weight. For instance, the average Delawarean has almost half the power as the average Montanan.

Opinion | The surprising idea from two conservative Democrats that could fix the House

Expanding the size of the House would make Congress more responsive to voters.

1 person cannot represent the needs of 750,000 constituents.

We've outgrown our House. Our population has more than tripled while the size of the House has remained at 435 Members. In the past, we enlarged the House as the population grew. It's time to let it grow again, and we can do it with a simple piece of legislation.

George Washington thought it should be 30,000 people per Congressional District. James Madison thought the upper limit should be 50,000. Small, your representative would be someone you might actually know. A HS principal, a local union rep, the old timer at a local hardware store.

435 is arbitrary. 435 is unrepresentative. 435 breaks the constitution. 435 needs to go.

It used to be super easy to find fellow Uncappers on the timeline and now it feels impossible. Not sure if this is the fix but it’s nice to see an attempt.

Elected Representatives >>> Unelected Bureaucrats Unfortunately, the cap on the House has ballooned the federal government because Congress has had to delegate work that was previously done in-house.

In a historic shift, the L.A. County Board of Supervisors will nearly double in size

Election returns showed the measure to expand L.A. County's Board of supervisors with a narrow lead, securing just over 51% of the vote.

Republicans have the opportunity to Make Politics Local Again by uncapping the size of the House and re-allowing remote voting, so members of Congress spend more time in the communities they represent.
