Re-adjusting the Size of the House of Representatives

A lawsuit was filed by a group called Apportionment.US. the suit alleges that the current allocation of seats in the HOR is unconstitutional. When the seats were allocated in 1911, the difference in population was minimal. In the last 90 some odd years, America has grown a little bit. It should be an interesting lawsuit to monitor. Unfortunately, these sorts of cases have typically been thrown out because the "harm" to the individual plaintiffs have usually been found to be too remote. Hopefully, they found a nice hook to keep it in court.
