They take this as a given and try to come up with convoluted ways to 'fix' the problem, when just fixing this axiom would solve it much easier.
- colechristensen 4y agoYes they don't talk about the Senate because it's not gerrymandered because it's a statewide position not subject to districting. We already have the bundled-population representation in a senator, the House uses a different strategy explicitly because it's different for the benefits of competing means of representation to even out power.
