SUMMARY OF RESULTS
Utilizing the population data from the 2010 Census yields an apportionment of five (5)
seats in the House of Representatives plus the constitutional two (2) seats in the Senate. Puerto
Ricos congressional delegation would then be a total of seven (7) congressmen. This translates
into a larger delegation than 21 states and of the same size as the delegations from Connecticut,
Oklahoma and Oregon. Should the total number of seats in the House of Representatives remain
unchanged at 435, the current apportionment for Puerto Rico would mean a loss of one (1) seat
for each of the states of California, Florida, Minnesota, Texas and Washington.
