It might not be THE solution, but it would be a start.
6900 congressmen with no office in Washington without a huge paycheck from the government would mean actual representation of everyone in the legislative branch. You'd still get special interests trying to buy people, but buying 7000 people all over the country and keeping them inline with the central party line is going to be way more difficult.
Especially if they risk getting punched in the face by their angry constituents.
6900 congressmen?
Seems legit.
Does create another problem of giving the senate a lot more power. Maybe we should think outside the box a bit more on this?
