While the effort of this subreddit is focused on increasing the number of representatives serving in the US House of Representatives, the problem of under representation in government can be expanded to all levels of government.

Most states don’t have enough reps in their HoRs to satisfy the cube root rule, for example. Florida arguably has less than half the representatives needs to address the needs of Floridians.

Many counties have too few commissioners. For example, Palm Beach county in Florida has only 7 commissioners for 1.4 million residents. That’s insane! Broward county has only 7 commissioners for 2.1 million people.

Even small towns are undeserved. Many towns only have 5 commissioners when that would only satisfy a town of about 125 residents. Towns of 10,000 should have at least 21 commissioners according to the cube root rule.

If we can demonstrate to people that the idea of underrepresentation is happening at all levels, it might generate more interest in uncapping the US House of Representatives, too.

How can Americans claim to love democracies so much yet continue to restrain the voices for the people at every turn?
