Rep. David Scott, a Georgia Democrat seeking his 13th term in Congress, dies at age 80

The House should be expanded like it was originally intended. Repeal the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929 that capped the limit at the current 435, in large part just because they didn’t want to expand the building. That in turn created a second defacto Senate, resulting in a lot of the current gerrymandering issues due to artificially limited district numbers.

If we removed that artificial limit and used the same proportions that were in place at the time there would now be 1200 representatives that represent equal districts across the board without any large or small outliers. Proper representation like the House was designed.

Any Congress can do this, the specific apportionment is not part of the constitution, it is like any other law. That act was passed by a regular Congressional act 100 years ago, and it can be undone just as easily.
