We the people ask the federal government to Propose a new Administration policy:

Remove the 435 vote limit and allow the House of Representatives and Electoral College to fairly represent the People.

Created by S.S. on December 17, 2016

WE ARE ASKING FOR FAIR REPRESENTATION: 1 vote per 500,000.

This number of representatives was set by Congress under the Apportionment Act of 1911. At that time 60% of the US population lived in rural areas, but now 75% of the US population lives in cities.

The House was set up to fairly represent the people, and it no longer does. As an example: Wyoming has a population of 586,107 and 1 vote. California has a population of 39,144,818 and 55 votes, (or 1 vote per 711,724. California should have 78 votes.

By assigning more votes and without increasing government size, 1 vote for 500,000 constituents would provide more populated states to be fairly represented by both the House of Representatives and the Electoral College.

Suggest adjustments every 10 years based on US Census.
