Join the Lawsuit to Demand Equal Representation in the House of Representatives
It is long overdue to pass a new law to apportion the house seats according to the Constitution:
1. Article I, § 2 Clause 3: “Representatives … shall be apportioned among the several states … according to their respective Numbers,” and
2. The Fourteenth Amendment § 2 reaffirmed the Equal Representation clause while abolishing the Three-fifth clause.
1. Article I, § 2 Clause 3: “Representatives … shall be apportioned among the several states … according to their respective Numbers,” and
2. The Fourteenth Amendment § 2 reaffirmed the Equal Representation clause while abolishing the Three-fifth clause.
Why is this important?
Equal Vote America Corp. (EVA) has filed a lawsuit against Congress at the U.S. District Court for the Southern District of New York (CASE # 1:19-cv-311) on the ground that the existing apportionment laws since 1929 are unconstitutional.
