      The districts are only part of the problem. The Constitution gives low population states a lot more power in both the Senate and Electoral College. Even if we fix the House districts they’ll still have a bigger voice than they actually do.

      For example, only once in the last 30 years has a Republican won the popular vote for the presidency, but they’ve held the office for 12 of those years.
