every state has actually been gaining more people over the past 16 years (except MI maybe). It seems kinda unfair to decrease seats
Why don't we also give DC a seat FINALLY and increase the number of seats in the House -- from 435 to 445. Ten new seats instead of taking away from other states.
The law says that the HoR is fixed at 435, which is such a stupid law, but that's what you get when it's the late 20's
It is smart because inevitably the HoR would get so large that it would be unfunctionable.
