I actually don’t mind that idea, but we’d have to totally reinvent the way the house works if it were to operate that way. As far as voting on ideas that is fine, but the whole committee structure and how legislation is drafted would seem totally unworkable.
An in between proposal I’ve heard is to adopt the so-called Wyoming rule and keep a fixed representation of 1 rep per population of <least populated state>. IIRC that would increase the house to around 700 reps, which would change things, but not require total reinvention.
