Congress hasn't increased in size since 1913. How do you feel increasing the size of the house from 435 (1 rep:720,000 citizens) to 800 (1 rep:390,000 citizens) or more appropriately 1500 (1:210,000 (the ratio in 1913)) would affect policy and governance.

I'm not affiliated but interesting points at http://www.thirty-thousand.org/

The State Legislators tend to draw up districts except in places like Iowa where a non-partisan group of judges do it. The formulas that people use to gerrymander districts need a relatively large group of people to predict the turnout and outcomes. The smaller the district the harder it will be to rig elections.

Wouldn't funding take care of itself. An election in a small district is less about TV and more about retail politics.
