    They stopped expanding it when it was obvious the Republicans would never have a majority in the house ever again.

    No.

    The size of the HoR was set in 1929 and since then the Democrats have controlled it for multiple years at a time. Heck at one point they were in control of it for 45 straight years! There’s been a number of multi-year stretches since 1929 where Democrats controlled BOTH bodies.

    The Re-Apportionment Act of 1929 that fixed the size of the HoR at its current 435 is a big chunk of the problem with the EC and quite a few other things. It needs to be undone.
