Small seats makes gerrymandering harder. Logically, it makes sense - the less population in a district, the less leeway the ruling party has to draw it to be favorable to themselves. For an extreme example, a 400-seat map of Oregon that I drew nearly perfectly represented the electorate, as effectively gerrymandering was basically impossible. However, I do concur that the difference between the current House and the Wyoming Rule house will not make gerrymandering significantly more difficult.
I do support this, though. We need to make Congress more representative of the general population, instead of disproportionate rural overrepresentation.
