At this point they may need to use RFK stadium for floor votes, if we were for example to return to the population density per rep that existed before the growth stopped. Using Wikipedia's numbers, we'd have just over 1,050 reps if we used the same density as 1929 when it was capped.

- Jtsummers 13y agoFortunately the House doesn't have filibusters anymore.
