The map above shows what the US House would look like if it had 100k people per district vs the over 750k people per district today.
Overall, you’d have a house with 3,350 members, which in this map would mean 1692 Democrats and 1658 Republicans.

Could the map comparing US elections with Canada be re-done with 750k people per district which would be more realistic and manageable for the US House of Representatives?
