Geography seeks to understand where things are found, why they are there, and how they develop and change over time. Read more...

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.
