	Allocating Seats (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		In the United States, the decennial process of allocating congressional seats among the states is called "reapportionment." In Canada, the decennial reallocation of Parliamentary seats among the provinces is known as "redistribution." But in many countries, no special terminology is applied to this allocation process.
		In fact, the stated purpose of decennial census in the United States is to determine the proper allocation of congressional seats among the states.
		Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states...according to their numbers....The actual Enumeration shall be made within three years after the first meeting of the Congress and within every subsequent term of ten years in such manner as they shall by law direct.

		States have a lot of leeway how they appoint electors, but 48 of them have a winner take all system.

	The New Yorker: Fact
		Following the 2000 census, all states were obligated to redraw the boundaries of their congressional districts in line with the new population figures.
		The framers of the Constitution created the House of Representatives to be the branch of government most responsive to changes in the public mood, but gerrymandered districts mean that most of the four hundred and thirty-five members of Congress never face seriously contested general elections.
		James Madison, in the Federalist Papers, said the House was meant to be a “numerous and changeable body,” where the members would have “an habitual recollection of their dependence on the people.” While the House was supposed to be impetuous, the Senate was intended to be stable.

	Apportionment FAQ Emily Yoffe
		Apportionment is the process of dividing the 435 seats of the House of Representatives among the 50 states.
		According to the Constitution, each state is guaranteed one representative; that means there are only 385 seats available to be divided in various ways among the states.
		Because residents of the District of Columbia do not have a voting member of the House, their population, 572,059 is subtracted from the resident figure for apportionment purposes.

		Yet after the Compromise of 1790 and an agreement between northern and southern states to not grant voting rights to the U.S. capital, D.C. residents were not able to vote.
		Article I of the U.S. Constitution clearly states that "the House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several states," and that "the Senate of the United States shall be composed of two senators from each state."
		While D.C. residents, as citizens, deserve equal protection and voting rights, many people think it would be blatantly unfair to residents of large states such as California or Texas to give D.C. equal representation in the Senate.

		Also, I have conducted research on physical barriers to RGSM passage and am currently initiating projects to restore RGSM habitat using large woody debris and quantify hydrologic alteration along the middle Rio Grande.
		A river-wide, representative, statistically-valid sampling program yielding quantitative results is necessary to document baseline conditions, teach us more about the temporal and spatial distribution of the endangered species as well as the other members of the fish community, measure program successes and failures, and chart our progress toward established recovery targets.
