Are their any cases addressing how soon after the last census new legislative elections must be held reflecting the new census?  

Specifically, the scenario I am investigating is where elections were held in 2001 for four year terms (still reflecting the census from 1990) and now the next elections reflecting the 2000 census will not occur until 2005.

Thanks for any public or private input on this.
