What are some issues with Reynolds v Sims?

There are a number issues
here:

• Is this really a constitutional decision
  or does it step on the toes of the states?  This is a case where the federal government
  tells the states how to apportion their legislatures.  It's based on the equal
  protection clause of the 14th Amendment.  But does that truly give the federal
  government the power to meddle in this area?


• The case
  ignores traditional political divisions.  In other words, you no longer have a
  representative who represents County X (a traditional political unit).  Instead, that
  person might represent a couple different counties (in sparsely populated areas like
  where I live).


• The representatives might not represent
  coherent communities.  If they have to represent set numbers of people they might have
  to represent groups of very different people instead of homogeneous
  groups.


• It has led to lots of gerrymandering where
  districts are drawn for political gain (instead of just having traditional divisons --
  you represent County X, you represent Town Y,
  etc).
