There is a problem in that the House has been stuck at 435 members since the 19th century. I don’t think there is political interest to increase its size but that would make the body more representative and the Electoral College a bit more favortable to the large states without amending the Constitution.

The fixed size of the House is part of the reason the Electoral College is perceived to be a little off-kilter. The fact is, if the House membership were permitted to rise based on legal US population, more and more of the House would be under defacto control of the gerrymandered, corrupt, single party state of California.
