    CA would need 68 representatives just to have the same representation as Wyoming.

    Every state is guaranteed one representative, and then otherwise by population. Wyoming has one representative.

      Exactly and then based on that number what we SHOULD do is do proportionality based on that in the most even way possible. But then the issue is states like delaware with almost double Wyoming population would still be unequal since they would still get 1 representative but would be more fair for California. Congress shouldn’t have a capped number. Every population of Wyoming size should have one representative in Congress this would give California 68
