        Wyoming is massively overrepresented.

        You want less than one congressman per state or what? California has 40 or 50, there’s like 5 states with one congressman. Spare me the crocodile tears about you’re so under represented.

          They weren’t suggesting that there be less than one congressman in Wyoming. You seem to have entirely ignored the actual suggestion they were making, which seems difficult.

            Nah. They were just crying because they think their team will have an easier time pushing someone else’s team around if certain states get even more congressmen

      And that one congressman represents 500k people, Meanwhile each of Florida’s represents 800k people. Why should the people of Florida’s votes be worth 60% of a Wyoming voter’s? Why should we not just give Florida 11 more congresspeople so it’s even?
