Space partially, the US House of Reps is already pretty packed so to add enough to get to >2 members per district you'd have to add a lot. You also get into potential issues diluting power that much, with so many members things like committee memberships become the only people with real power on an individual level.

- rtkwe 4y agoIncreasing it up to the state level maybe any smaller and you'll still have room for gerrymandering. Could even have districts still for people to have a person to directly go to but who represents which district is down to the statewide percentages. I'd love to see something like that combined with a ranked choice system. First past the post really heavily incentivizes a 2 party system.
