- cool. good luck -- nm - Peglegpete Oct 29, 11:24
- Good luck. Sounds like a good change. - iSpam Oct 29, 11:15 5
  - It really has. There are pros/cons to every decision. But one thing is very clear. My unique quirky store isn't the same as it was when I was hired. - Qale Oct 29, 11:22 4
    - oh hell yeah -- nm - zeit spiced geist Oct 29, 12:34

Question: What does it take to add members to the House of Rep. There are 438 currently. They get apportioned to each state through census data - TWuG Oct 29, 10:56 14

      - Yeah, that occurred to me after an embarrassing length of time. :-) -- nm - TWuG Oct 29, 12:52
  - And iinm, adding a new state would add one new representative, but only until the next reapportionment, when it would go back to 435. -- nm - znufrii Oct 29, 11:21
- It would require an act of congress. The current act dates to the 1930 census. -- (link) - Max Oct 29, 11:10 7
  - With one minor addition: The exact number was set by law by the Permanent Apportionment Act of 1929. - RCynic and Old Lace Oct 29, 11:15 5
    - counternitpicky: I said it *dates* to the census and linked the Act, I didn't say the census made the rule! -- nm* - Max Oct 29, 12:59 1

        Except for the whole"trying to be a better person" bit, sure! - iSpam Oct 29, 11:33
  - Thanks! - TWuG Oct 29, 11:12
- isn't it tied to the number of desks they can squeeze into the house? if they add a state then they'd reapportion again ???? -- nm - zeit spiced geist Oct 29, 11:06

  - No, no ... ST has already guaranteed that this scandal will have no effect on the election at all. None. Zero. -- nm - RCynic and Old Lace Oct 29, 11:17 10
    - BS. -- nm - Deeve Oct 29, 11:29 9
      - That's what I've been saying all along, too. The whole email scandal is only a scandal because the Clinton/Kaine campaign failed to address it. - RCynic and Old Lace Oct 29, 12:49 8
        
        They could have addressed it better. But would it matter? Vince Foster still gets mentioned -- nm - crash davis Oct 29, 13:03 2
        
        If the campaign had nailed it shut in the early primaries, they'd have the basis to complete discredit Comey now. - RCynic and Old Lace Oct 29, 13:12 1
        
        you are being naive. even the most forceful early response would not have foreclosed the FBI investigation or congressional hearings -- nm - mr monkey Oct 29, 13:24
        
        MDH does not = ST. That makes your post BS too. -- (edited) - Deeve Oct 29, 13:01 2
        
        I was being hyperbolic, bloviating, self-important, and overly generalizing, so ... yes. You're right. -- nm* - RCynic and Old Lace Oct 29, 13:12
        
        especially on music -- nm - classic rock crash Oct 29, 13:03
        
        Clinton was a dumbass for not checking before she did this shit. She already knew she was running. - Booooocon Oct 29, 12:59 1
