    Yeah, that’s the second issue. Now, that might be able to changed with an act of congress.

    Congress can change the rules around elections, but the federal government tends to be pretty hands-off with elections at the state level, and we’d have to fix the supreme court to get anything like that to stick.

    It might take a constitutional amendment, which again, is almost impossible in today’s political climate.

    So the easiest thing to work towards is un-capping the House, because that would instantly make the government better represent the people, and being honest here, would deny conservatives the House and probably presidency for the foreseeable future. All because conservatives are not actually as popular as the slanted voting system makes them seem to be.
