The Cube-Root and Wyoming rules are commonly suggested as viable formulas for determining the size of our House of Representatives. However, neither proposal would enlarge the House sufficiently to produce any noticeable benefits.
Because the House of Representatives is far too small, many smaller communities are subsumed into enormous and politically contrasting congressional districts, effectively disenfranchising millions of Americans.
Established in 2004, Thirty-Thousand.org is a non-partisan and non-profit organization that conducts research on, and educates the public about, the benefits of establishing Congressional districts that are both smaller and equally-sized relative to their populations.
