Correct me if I'm wrong but house seats are divided up to states based on population numbers (more population, more seats).
The Democrat super majority states have mass homeless issues to ridiculous levels and are also "sanctuary cities" for illegals to get even more from other states, they don't even attempt to actually help these people they just exist there.
Both of these two things boost their population numbers very high, which in term helps them get more seats in the house.
So it's not just about voter manipulation.

Yea, completely wrong.
The Federal government gives each state a "portion" of funding for things related to federal law and also gives allows them to "request" monies for other projects that the feds dem beneficial to the country. Like food stamps is a federal program, so fed gives states money based on how much they spend BUT as long as the federal programs continue they do not have to technically spend it on that it goes into the states general fund and is distributed from there.
Cali's problem is so much corruption. Look at how many big time politicians at the state level have been arrested in last 10 years. Beats out every other state.
My example earlier, Cali asked the government for billions to build a high speed railway up and down the state. They got $6.4 billion from the feds before they pulled funding for the project and Trump and FRA(federal railway association) is trying to make them payback $3.5 billion of the money they got. The rail was a dream project that had barely anything done with it. The price tag was originally $33.9 billion when it was forecast-ed in 2008 before Cali scrapped it it was and estimated cost to finish of almost $100 billion. In short project was never even a fraction completed and no one knows where all the money went.

Project costs have escalated significantly from an initial estimate of $33.6 billion in 2008[11] for the Anaheim to San Francisco section according to the 2008 business plan, and a $40 billion total figure given to voters whose approval was sought in 2008.[12][13] The 2008 business plan proposed a 2028 completion date for Phase 1 and a one-way fare of $55 from Los Angeles to San Francisco.[14] In 2012 the Authority re-estimated the project's cost at $53.4 billion ($2011) or $68.4 billion (YOE).[15] Federal funds are dependent upon rail service, though not necessarily high-speed, starting on operational rails by December 2022.[16] In 2018 the Authority pushed estimated costs to between $63.2 billion and $98.1 billion (YOE) and delayed initial service to 2029, with Los Angeles to San Francisco service in 2033.[17][18][19] However, environment reviews for the entire San Francisco to Anaheim route would continue.[20][21] The cost for Bakersfield to Merced is $12.4 billion.[22][23][24]
