	Congress of the United States - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Seats are apportioned among the states on the basis of population, but every state, regardless of size, is guaranteed at least one seat.
		For instance, Congress may not suspend the privilege of the writ of habeas corpus (except in extreme cases of rebellion or invasion), pass bills of attainder or ex post facto laws, or grant titles of nobility.
		Thus, the current Congress (whose term lasts from 2005 to 2007) is known as the "109th Congress"; the previous Congress (whose term lasted from 2003 to 2005) was the "108th Congress," and so forth.

	From Jal Khambata
		The Congress and allies were given the lowest 90 by the STAR-NDTV-Insight exit poll and the highest 159 by the Lokmat survey, showing a gain of 37 seats over the last election.
		Congress spokesman Kapil Sibal challenged the authenticity of the new exit poll, pointing out that the wide differences in the surveys conducted by various agencies were enough to reject their veracity.
		The Congress is not even in the race except for a few seats in Orissa in the last two rounds of the polls as everywhere else the contest was mainly between the BJP combine and the regional parties like Samajwadi Party, Bahujan Samaj Party and Rashtriya Janata Dal, Modi claimed.

	Election Resources on the Internet: Elections to the Spanish Congress of Deputies
		The single-member seats in Ceuta and Melilla are filled by the plurality or first-past-the-post method, under which the candidate obtaining the largest number of votes in the constituency is elected.
		Moreover, the allocation of seats among constituencies, as set forth by law, clearly favors sparsely populated and largely rural provinces, which are over-represented in Congress at the expense of the more populated and predominantly urban provinces.
		Therefore, the number of votes required to win a seat in Congress varies significantly from constituency to constituency: in the 2004 general election, the number of votes needed to win a seat ranged from a low of 14,593 in Soria (15,941 in 2000) to a high of 92,743 in Madrid (85,267 in 2000).

		Although the Congress initially claimed that it would join hands with secular-minded parties to fight the BJP during the Gujarat Assembly elections, its inflexibility on seat-sharing cost it dearly.

		Even as a senior Gujarat Congress leader rejected the idea, terming it as a "closed chapter since Hindtuva worked in an overwhelming manner," NCP leader Chhabildas Mehta observed, "It is a big loss for the Congress since it could have actually reaped benefit on certain seats.

		The aim of the DIC is to contest in as many seats as possible that are perceived to be winnable.

		And so, with the reapportionment of the 435 members of the House among the 50 states to reflect the new demographics, New York's delegation will shrink from 31 seats to 29, continuing the state's decline in representation since the high of 45 seats in the 1930's and 40's.
		And some political leaders in New York predict this round may not be as bloody as in 1980, when five seats were lost, or even 1990, when three seats were eliminated only after a federal court stepped in when the Legislature could not agree on a plan.
		And while several public hearings will be held around the state over the next year before a plan is presented to the governor, prognosticators noted that the redistricting process was rife with back-room power plays and intraparty warfare that make predictions at this stage difficult.
