    @inthehands one option that doesn’t take anything radical like a new state or amendments would be to repeal the https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reapportionment_Act_of_1929 which sets the 435 members of the House of Representatives based on the census of 1910. Resulting in each Representative representing wildly different numbers of people. If instead each Representative had closer to 250000 people in their district than over 750000 we would have closer to 1320ish Reps (likely a few more)

This reapportionment was preceded by the Apportionment Act of 1911, which established the 435-seat size, and followed nearly a decade of debate and gridlock after the 1920 Census. The 1929 Act took effect after the 1932 election, meaning that the House was never reapportioned as a result of the 1920 United States Census, and representation in the lower chamber remained frozen for twenty years. Unlike earlier Apportionment Acts, the 1929 Act neither repealed nor restated the requirements of the previous apportionment acts that congressional districts be contiguous, compact, and equally populated. It was not clear whether these requirements were still in effect until in 1932 the Supreme Court of the United States ruled in Wood v. Broom (1932) that the provisions...
