The impasse over reapportioning votes has hampered efforts to increase funding levels, which countries across the board agree need to be increased.

Every 10 years, states rely on census data to redraw their legislative districts to reflect population changes and rebalance, or reapportion, congressional and legislative seats.

In advanced industrial giants like the United States, Britain and several European countries, political leaders turned out to be unable or unwilling to more broadly reapportion rewards and burdens.

“Furthermore, Congress cannot be reapportioned a second time.”

The Census Bureau met its constitutional duty to supply population data for reapportioning the House of Representatives in August 2021, about four months behind schedule.
