Wao nahele kane,
I disagree. While there is a large land mass the whole population is rather small. Approx. 130,000 at the present (we will know more clearly after the census). 130,000 people is equal to a smallish city. The large bulk of our land mass is barely occupied. Thousands of acres of mountain and jungle and a huge national park. Acres don't vote (or aren't supposed to), people vote or don't all to often.
If land mass was the measure then Alaska would have the most representatives in Washington and everyone would complain about it. Of course, people complain anyway.

Assume the best and ask questions.
