Yes. It really is a big deal. Each representative now represents differing amounts of people. If you're a resident of California or Texas your amount of representation is diminished. Conservatives love to point out that America isn't a democracy but is a Representative Republic - but even that is skewed because not everybody has equal amounts of representation. Your demand for a single issue that would be resolved if everybody had equal representation is simply a red herring.

Again, there are just a few small states with small population that have increased representation. Overall, I bet adding more people to the house would actually make the political process much worse. If you actually cared about this, getting a better census estimate would be the first step since that's currently helping democrats quite a bit.
