This does bring up some very good points, but if you change it from Rep by State, to Rep by Region, it balances it out, such a system works in Canada, but we have a much smaller population, that is much more spread out. Like one seat is located around Vancouver, while in my town we have a much larger zone, but with the same number off people

So if we have say City Alpha with 10,000,000 people
And Town Bravo, Charley, Delta... Hotel, India, and Juliet with 1,000,000 people each, you would put City Alpha in its own Riding, with all those towns in another. So you two areas, equal population, equal number of seats in the government.

With the US you have a bigger problem, you have cities that are massively sprawling with like 6,000,000,000 people so to balance out the ridings, you would need either one riding that takes up half the country, or very small ones in your cities.

Also with so many ridings, you would have a lot of seats, which means more senators (?), which means a slower democratic process.
