Millions of liberals systematically move to and tilt all the smallest Red states permanently from Red to Blue. An overarching plan on how many need to move to (and were from) each <Red state could be drawn up, and Democratic-supporting billionaires could collectively help fund it, especially by providing new jobs and infrastructure in the states that take in the new masses.

Why cap the total, and adjust the ratio ? Could easily fix the ratio at say, 1 Rep:1,000,000 voters

One per million is the opposite direction. That would reduce House size to only 330 or so.
