I think the implications of enlarging the House are more interesting. Jump it up to a round 1000 and things look good for the Dems.
Plus, what effect would that have on the Popular Vote Interstate Compact?
The main effect of increasing the size of the house is changing how things look for presidential elections, since there is one electoral vote for each house seat.
If you look at my “GOP Advantage by Congress Size” chart, you can see that the partisan lean of the house doesn’t change much as you increase it.
