[EL] after 1920 census, there was no reapportionment for US House

[Richard Winger]

I hope someone is informed about the precedent set after the 1920 census.  Congress simply neglected to do any reapportionment.  So the number of seats for each state remained the same for 20 years, from 1911 thru 1931.  I have often wondered why no state that had gained a lot of people didn't sue.  Maybe such a lawsuit did happen, but I have never seen any record of it.
If no one would have standing to challenge a failure to reapportion after a census, and the US Census data in 2020 is substantially flawed, maybe congress (if either house is controlled by Democrats in 2021) could just repeat what happened 100 years ago???
