Apportionment in the House

Re-Apportionmnet Act of 1929

This freezing the number of representatives instead of limiting the size of Congressional Districts violates the equal protection clause of the Fourteenth Amendment, and the principle of one person one vote.

The people living in Wyoming have one representative for every 563,000 while the people in Glorida have one representative for every 769,000. An average of 206m000 people in each of the 27 Congressional Districts are not being counted for the purpose of Apportionment in the House of Representatives. A collective total of 5,562,000 Floridians are not being counted.

For all of the people in all of the states to be equally represented the size of Congressional Districts must be the same size.
