      Maybe, maybe not. It would depend on the districting process in each state. We’d certainly see new Republican’s in Congress from California but we’d also see new Democrats in Congress from Texas.

        there would be so many new house members from blue states that whatever gains the GOP gets would be so irrelevant as to be a statistical error. The house is HUGELY unbalanced.

          If that happens then it happens. The intent of increasing the size of the HoR isn’t so that the Correct Party, whichever you judge that to be, would win. The intent is restore its ability to correctly represent the Citizens of this country. Doing that will have a direct and positive impact on the EC and other things.
