How would proportional representation be implemented in a state with only one representative in Congress (like North Dakota, where I live)? Would we have to increase the number of seats in the House across all the states?
Unfortunately PR does require more than one representative to work, so right now it can't be applied to Alaska, Delaware, North Dakota, South Dakota, Vermont, and Wyoming — but we also think it would work *extremely* well with lifting the arbitrary cap on the size of the House, which would be beneficial for all sorts of other reasons: https://www.ifyoucankeepit.org/p/where-will-they-all-sit?utm_source=publication-search
Can someone point me ro an explanation on the logistics of voting for this? E.g., if a population is 70% Democratic, and 3 reps could be elected, all 3 would be Democrats, right? How would representation for minority parties/racial groups/etc be factored in?

Is there a grassroots group lobbying Congress on this?

Rise. We have protests to do now. Good trouble.
