More Representatives in Congress: Closer to Citizens, Equal Voices.

This act aims to increase the number of representatives in the House of Representatives, so that each represents approximately 500,000 people. This is intended to make it easier for citizens to contact their representatives and have their voices heard more effectively. Additionally, states may optionally introduce multi-member districts and ranked-choice voting, which could affect how votes are cast and election outcomes.
