Off topic here.

There are over 700,000 people per Congressional district.

Our 435 House members were set almost a hundred years ago when the nation had about 100 million.

It is time to at least double the membership of the House. Too many, especially Conservatives are not getting their just representation. It will also reduce the number of lawsuits that follow every census.

The boundary of any political district is a political question that should answered within the political branches.

You want 1,000 Congresscritters sucking the taxpayer dry? And you think that will somehow increase representation of Conservatives and reduce the lawsuits over reapportionment? That must be some strong stuff you're smoking!
