reapportionment

基本解释

There's a similar lesson in the fact that Florida gains two seats in the reapportionment and New York loses two.
对于其他州，也有着同样的现象。佛罗里达周获得了两个额外席位，纽约州则失去了两个。
All but one of the states that would have lost House seats in a 1920 reapportionment proceeded to lose when the 1930 census was taken.
在1920年的重新分配中丢失众议院席位的各州中，只有一个州在1930年普查数据启用后仍然没有得到席位。
After a decennial count of the population, therefore, congressional seats are divvied up among states accordingly, a process called reapportionment.
因此，每十年一次的人口统计后，国会席位将按照数据在各州间重新进行划分，即众议院席位重新分配法。

The 2010 Census will also kick off the dramatic political spectacle that is reapportionment.
