United States Government Files Brief in U.S. Supreme Court in Lawsuit over Size of U.S. House
November 21st, 2010
On November 17, the United States government filed this brief in opposition [pdf at IPR: here], in Clemons v U.S. Department of Commerce, 10-291. This is the case that says that “one person, one vote” principles require that the size of the U.S. House of Representatives be increased. As things stand, Montana and Wyoming each have one seat, but Montana has twice as many people as Wyoming.
