In 1968, after incumbent Richard Schweiker decided to run for the United States Senate, Coughlin successfully ran for the United States House of Representatives from Pennsylvania's 13th congressional district. The district, based in Montgomery County and dominated by the Republican Party, included the affluent suburban communities of the Main Line and, in the 1980s, was reapportioned to include parts of Philadelphia. After winning the Republican nomination, he defeated his Democratic opponent, Robert D. Gates, by a margin of 62%-37%. During his tenure in Congress, Coughlin earned a reputation as a moderate to liberal Republican.

In that session, legislative districts were reapportioned and the state House of Representatives and the state senate were resized."Session Dates of the Washington State Legislature", State of Washington Members of the Legislature, 1889–2014, Legislative Information Center, Olympia, Washington, June 2014, p. 1.Brazier, Don, "1889–1901 Statehood the Rise & Decline of Populism", History of the Washington Legislature, 1854–1963, Washington State Senate, Olympia, Washington, 2000, pp. 42–44. Rinehart did not seek re-election to the state senate when his term expired at the end of 1890.

The Reapportionment Act of 1929 (ch. 28, , ) was a combined census and apportionment bill passed by the United States Congress on June 18, 1929, that established a permanent method for apportioning a constant 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives according to each census. This reapportionment was preceded by the Apportionment Act of 1911 and took effect after the 1932 election meaning that the House was never reapportioned as a result of the 1920 United States Census. Representation in the lower chamber remained frozen for twenty years.

Poochigian with Arnold Schwarzenegger In 1998, he was unopposed in seeking election to represent California's 14th Senate District, which included portions of Fresno, Tulare, and Kern Counties. In November 2002, he was again re-elected without opposition to the reapportioned 14th Senate District which now includes all or portions of Fresno, Madera, Mariposa, San Joaquin, Stanislaus, and Tuolumne Counties. In 2006, Capitol Weekly named Poochigian the most effective Senator (excluding the Pro-Tem).Capitol Weekly Awards However, Poochigian earned a zero rating from Equality California (EQCA) for his opposition to LGBT legislation.

Richard Edward Floyd (February 3, 1931 – August 11, 2011) was a California State Assemblyman from the 53rd District who served from 1980 until 1992, when he was defeated by Juanita Millender-McDonald, after he and fellow Democratic assemblyman Dave Elder were reapportioned into the 55th District. He represented the 55th District again after McDonald was elected to Congress from 1996 until 2000, when he was termed out. He ran for a neighboring State Senate seat in 2000, but lost in the primary to Edward Vincent. Floyd received approximately 30% of the vote.

Florida's congressional districts since 2017 These are tables of congressional delegations from Florida to the United States House of Representatives and the United States Senate. Unlike many smaller states that generally have continuity in their districts when reapportioned every 10 years after the United States Census, Florida has seen a great deal of demographic change and population shifts since statehood. An individual numbered district today does not necessarily cover the same geographic area as the same numbered district before reapportionment. For example, Adam Putnam and before him Charles T. Canady have represented the since 1993, which was previously held by Tom Lewis.

The following is an alphabetical list of members of the United States House of Representatives from the state of Florida. For chronological tables of members of both houses of the United States Congress from the state (through the present day), see United States Congressional Delegations from Florida. The list of names should be complete, but other data may be incomplete. Unlike many smaller states that generally have continuity in their districts when reapportioned every 10 years after the US Census, Florida has had too much demographic change to consider each district to be a continuation of the same numbered district before reapportionment.

Disproportionate population growth across Maryland since 1838 meant that the principle of one seat per county gave the voters of some counties, such as those on the eastern shore, disproportionate representation. Other counties, especially those in suburban areas, were underrepresented. A special session of the legislature in 1965 changed the Senate to represent 16 districts and reapportioned the seats, again by county, but did so in such a way as to make the representation more proportional to population than it had been. Thus, the eastern shore, which had previously elected nine Senators, elected only four after 1965.

Davao del Sur, along with Davao City, were represented together from the second half of the 6th Congress until the end of the 7th Congress. Davao del Sur was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region XI from 1978 to 1984, and returned two representatives, elected at-large, to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984. Davao City separately elected its own representatives starting that year. Under the new Constitution which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987, Davao del Sur was reapportioned into two congressional districts; each elected its member to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.

Once again, the state party failed to support its pro Civil Rights nominee, Vice President Hubert Humphrey of Minnesota. By this time, the National Party then recognized a black-majority replacement party under the direction of African-American John L. Cashin, Jr. and seated his delegation at the 1968 convention under the name of the National Democratic Party of Alabama. Two years later, Cashin would unsuccessfully challenge Wallace election to a second term as governor. After the 1970 Federal Census and Voting Rights legal challenges, the Alabama Legislature reapportioned itself for the first time in several decades.

Norby won a special election to represent the 72nd State Assembly District in 2009, following the resignation of Michael D. Duvall, and was re-elected to a full term in 2010, representing Fullerton, Brea, La Habra and parts of Orange, Yorba Linda and Anaheim. In 2012, Norby was reapportioned into the 65th State Assembly District, where he narrowly lost the 2012 election, being outspent 3-1 by public employee unions. While in the legislature, Norby worked for bipartisan reforms in criminal justice reform, particularly for non-violent drug offenders. He introduced bills to curb asset seizure abuse.

Ireland, for example, redraws its electoral districts after every census§5: Establishment of Constituency Commission; Electoral Act, 1997 Irish Statute Book while Belgium uses its existing administrative boundaries for electoral districts and instead modifies the number of representatives allotted to each. Israel and the Netherlands are among the few countries that avoid the need for apportionment entirely by electing legislators at-large. Apportionment is generally done on the basis of population. Seats in the United States House of Representatives, for instance, are reapportioned to individual states every 10 years following a census, with some states that have grown in population gaining seats.

The school was designed by the architectural firm of Curtis and Davis, who later designed the Louisiana Superdome in New Orleans. South Terrebonne High was officially opened in 1961, with the first graduating class commencing in 1962. Most of the first graduating class were transferred into South Terrebonne for their senior year when the district was reapportioned, and some students delayed their graduation from Terrebonne High in 1961 in order to graduate in the first graduating class at the new school in 1962. Prior to 1988, South Terrebonne housed students in their sophomore, junior, or senior year.

Bradford, Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 1758. p. 621 In practice, however, this was not always followed. The Assembly initially consisted of 24 members with two each elected in the Cities of Burlington and Perth Amboy, and ten at-large from each of the two divisions. As this system proved unwieldy for holding elections, in 1709 the Assembly was reapportioned; Burlington and Perth Amboy would retain their two seats each; the Town of Salem had two, and two for each of the nine counties.

The faithless Oklahoma elector voted for Barry Goldwater as vice president; the other 14 voted for Strom Thurmond as vice president. There were 537 electoral votes, up from 531 in 1956, because of the addition of two U.S. senators and one U.S. representative from each of the new states of Alaska and Hawaii. (The House of Representatives was temporarily expanded from 435 members to 437 to accommodate this, and went back to 435 when reapportioned according to the 1960 census. The reapportionment took place after the 1960 election.) Source (Popular Vote): Note: Sullivan / Curtis ran only in Texas.

The province, excluding the highly urbanized of city of Iloilo, was reapportioned into five congressional districts under the new Constitution which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987. The five districts elected members to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year. Iloilo City also elected its own representative in the 1987 election. On May 22, 1992 the Provincial Board of Canvassers of Iloilo affirmed the results of the May 11, 1992 plebiscite on the proposed establishment of Guimaras (a sub-province of Iloilo since 1966) as a regular province by virtue of Section 462 of Republic Act No. 7160 (Local Government Code of 1991).

Boehner appointed Lungren as Ranking Republican Member of the House Administration Committee. To serve on this new role, he left his spot with the Budget Committee and became Chairman of the House Administration Committee when Republicans took control of the House in January 2011. The National Journal's Cook Political Report named Lungren the Republican most vulnerable to redistricting in 2012. Lungren lost his re-election bid for the 7th Congressional District, reapportioned after the 2010 Census, in the November 2012 election, which was called by The Associated Press on November 15, 2012 in favor of the Democratic challenger, Ami Bera, by a margin of 5700 votes – 51.1% to 48.9%.

Upon the restoration of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1945, the province retained its seven pre-war representative districts. The province was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region VII from 1978 to 1984. Beginning in 1984 the province elected six representatives, at large, to the Regular Batasang Pambansa; Cebu City, which became a highly urbanized city in 1979 by virtue of Batas Pambansa Blg. 51, began to be represented separately from Cebu at this time. Cebu, including the cities of Mandaue and Lapu-Lapu, was reapportioned into six congressional districts under the new Constitution which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987.

The province was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region IV-A from 1978 to 1984, and elected four representatives, at large, to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984. Batangas was reapportioned into four congressional districts under the new Constitution which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987, and elected members to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year. The passage of Republic Act No. 10673 on August 19, 2015 increased the number of the province's representatives from four to six. R.A. No. 10673 separated Batangas City and Lipa from the second and fourth districts, and constituted these cities into the province's fifth and sixth districts, respectively.

Though the state appealed the decision to the Supreme Court, the District Court decision was upheld and voting districts were reapportioned based on population size. Having been involved with the Democratic Party since she was first able to vote, for Franklin D. Roosevelt, in 1968 Butterworth became chair of the presidential campaign for Eugene McCarthy for Connecticut and served that year as a delegate to the Democratic National Convention. Opposed to the Vietnam War, she attended peace rallies and in 1971, Butterworth, as a member of the American Friends Service Committee, traveled with 169 delegates to Paris to discuss terms to attain peace to end the war.

Tagaytay, the province's other chartered city, was placed under provincial jurisdiction during the war and was not represented separately. Upon the restoration of the Philippine Commonwealth in 1945, the province and its two cities reverted to the pre-war lone district representation. The province was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region IV-A from 1978 to 1984, and returned three representatives, elected at large, to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984. Cavite was reapportioned into three congressional districts under the new Constitution which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987, and elected members to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year.

In Reynolds v. Sims (1964), the U.S. Supreme Court implemented the principle of "one man, one vote", ruling that congressional districts had to be reapportioned based on censuses (as the state already included in its constitution but had not implemented.) Further, the court ruled that both houses of bicameral state legislatures had to be apportioned by population, as there was no constitutional basis for states to have geographically based systems. At that time, Alabama and many other states had to change their legislative districting, as many across the country had systems that underrepresented urban areas and districts. This had caused decades of underinvestment in such areas.

Following his work with Rudy Giuliani, while a resident of Montclair, New Jersey, Kurson ran in the 2003 New Jersey General Assembly election for the 34th Legislative District as a moderate Republican, during a divisive time within the Democratic Party, and following a bitter primary battle. In a district that was reapportioned to be "so overwhelmingly Democratic that general elections would be nothing more than a formality", Kurson received 17.6% of the vote and ran a distant third behind Democratic incumbent Peter C. Eagler (with 33.2%) and his running mate Sheila Oliver (31.0%).Golway, Terry. "Politics; Well-Connected" , The New York Times, September 14, 2003.

Zamboanga del Sur was reapportioned into three congressional districts under the new Constitution which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987, and elected members to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year. The passage of Republic Act No. 8973 and its subsequent ratification by plebiscite on February 22, 2001 separated Zamboanga del Sur's entire third district to create the new province of Zamboanga Sibugay. Per Section 7 of Republic Act No. 8973, Zamboanga del Sur's representation was reduced to two districts. The former third district first elected a representative under the designation Lone congressional district of Zamboanga Sibugay beginning in the 2001 election.

Instead, Billings and Hebard persuaded House members to support it with the argument that if Vermont didn't solve the problem, the federal government and the courts would do it instead.Christopher Graff Associated Press, Rutland Herald Historic House Debate Recalled, May 17, 2005 The reapportionment effort was successful and Hebard ran successfully for a seat in the reapportioned House in the 1965 special election, now a candidate from Glover and four other towns that were combined into a two- member district. He served in the House until 1969.Samuel B. Hand, Anthony Marro, Stephen C. Terry, Philip Hoff: How Red Turned Blue in the Green Mountain State, 2011 Hebard's district included Irasburg.

After an Austrian and then an international naval demonstration in early 1912 and Russia's withdrawal of support, Serbia backed down. Montenegro was not as compliant, and on May 2, the Austrian council of ministers met and decided to give Montenegro a last chance to comply, or it would resort to military action. However, seeing the Austro-Hungarian military preparations, the Montenegrins requested for the ultimatum to be delayed, and they complied. Territorial gains of the Balkan states after the Balkan Wars The Serbian government, having failed to get Albania, now demanded for the other spoils of the First Balkan War to be reapportioned, and Russia failed to pressure Serbia to back down.

Similarly, California is also represented in the US Congress by fifty-three Congressional Representatives representing the fifty-three congressional districts in the state. As in all other states, these congressional districts are reapportioned every ten years following the release of a new census. Due to its status as the most populous state in the union, California has the largest number of representatives of any single state in Congress. These representatives are elected for two year terms as per the rules of the House of Representatives and currently feature a number of prominent members of the body such as House minority leader Kevin McCarthy, and House majority leader and current Speaker of the House Nancy Pelosi.

The French grand plan called for two French armies to press against the flanks of the northern armies in the German states while simultaneously a third army approached Vienna through Italy. Jourdan's army would push southeast from Düsseldorf, intending to draw troops and attention toward themselves, which would allow Moreau's army an easier crossing of the Rhine between Kehl and Hüningen. According to plan, Jourdan’s army feinted toward Mannheim, and Charles quickly reapportioned his troops. Moreau's army attacked the bridgehead at Kehl, which was guarded by 7,000 imperial troops—troops recruited that spring from the Swabian circle polities, inexperienced and untrained—which amazingly held the bridgehead for several hours, but then retreated toward Rastatt.

Gallen represented Berks County in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives for more than twenty-seven years, first as one of the county's at-large representatives, then as the member for the 128th District seat created in 1968, following an overhaul of the State Constitution which reapportioned seats based upon numbered districts. He announced his retirement from the State House in 1992, at which time he unsuccessfully sought the 6th Congressional District seat being vacated by Democratic incumbent Gus Yatron. Gallen was defeated in the Republican primary by Pottsville attorney John Jones, who went on to lose the general election to Schuylkill County Sheriff Tim Holden."James J. Gallen," (biography), Pennsylvania House of Representatives.

By contrast, seats in the Cantonal Council of Zürich are reapportioned in every election based on the number of votes cast in each district, which is only made possible by use of multi-member districts, and the House of Peoples of Bosnia and Herzegovina, by contrast, is apportioned without regard to population; the three major ethnic groups - Bosniaks, Serbs, and Croats - each get exactly five members. Malapportionment occurs when voters are under- or over-represented due to variation in district population. In some places, geographical area is allowed to affect apportionment, with rural areas with sparse populations allocated more seats per elector: for example in Iceland, the Falkland Islands, Scottish islands, and (partly) in US Senate elections.

The United States House of Representatives elections in California, 1932 was an election for California's delegation to the United States House of Representatives, which occurred as part of the general election of the House of Representatives on November 8, 1932. This election began the transition of California from a solidly Republican state to a swing state, which it would be for the next 60 years. California gained nine seats as a result of the 1930 Census; it would have been six if the House seats were reapportioned in 1920 since California would have had 14 seats as a result of the 1920 Census. Democrats won six of those seats while Republicans won three.

Parker served as an alderman of the city of Beloit most of the time from 1857 into the 1880s, and was mayor in 1861. He repeatedly served as a member of the county board, and was twice elected to Rock County's 4th Assembly district (the City of Beloit, and the Towns of Beloit, Newark and Turtle) as a Republican for 1868 and 1869 (succeeding Horatio Murray). He was succeeded by fellow Republican John Hammond. In 1876 Parker was once more elected to the Assembly, from Rock County's reapportioned 1st Assembly district (now the city of Beloit, and the Towns of Avon, Beloit, Center, Newark, Magnolia, Plymouth, Spring Valley, and Union), this time as a Greenback; he received 1,079 votes against 972 for Republican William Alcott.

Cotton was no longer king, as cotton lands were converted into timberlands. Until the 1970s rural areas had controlled the legislature. After 1972, both houses of the state legislature were reapportioned into single-member districts, ending another rural advantage. Coupled with the federal Voting Rights Act of 1965, which protected voting for African Americans, the reapportionment transformed South Carolina politics. The South Carolina Democratic party, which dominated the state for nearly a century after Reconstruction, due to suppression of black voting, began to decline at the state and county level with the 1994 elections. The majority white voters had been supporting Republican presidential candidates since the late 1960s and gradually elected the party candidates to local and state offices as well.

The Treaty of Madrid (1750) reapportioned South American land on which the Jesuit missions were located, transferring the area to the Portuguese, who allowed slavery. The Portuguese colonials seek to enslave the natives, and as the independent Jesuit missions might impede this, Papal emissary Cardinal Altamirano, a former Jesuit priest, is sent from the Vatican to survey the missions and decide which, if any, should be allowed to remain. Under pressure from both Cabeza and Portuguese representative Hontar, Cardinal Altamirano is forced to choose between two evils. If he rules in favour of the colonists, the indigenous peoples will become enslaved; if he rules in favour of the missions, the entire Jesuit Order may be condemned by the Portuguese and the European Catholic Church could fracture.

Sorority Mourns Loss of California Rep. Millender-McDonald — Accessed on April 24, 2007 Millender-McDonald served as a member of the City Council of Carson, California and was a member of the California State Assembly (after beating two sitting incumbent Democrats that had been reapportioned into the same Carson based assembly district in 1992) before entering the House. She was first elected to the House in a March 1996 special election to replace Congressman Walter Tucker, who resigned due to corruption charges and was later sentenced to 27 months in prison. While she won a difficult nine- candidate primary in her first election run (fellow assembly member Willard Murray came in a close second) she did not face any serious opposition in any of her reelection campaigns.

Long Branch, New Toronto, and Mimico were absorbed back into Etobicoke; Weston was absorbed into York; Leaside into East York; and Swansea and Forest Hill, into Toronto, resulting in an unusual final situation where none of the municipalities outside the city were ever entities founded as distinct historic urban settlements in their own right. The reorganized Metropolitan Toronto adopted a flag and decal using a symbol of six rings representing the six municipalities. The six rings that made up the symbol would later inspire Drake to nickname Toronto "the Six." As the seats on Metro Council were reapportioned according to population, the council was now dominated by the suburban majority; but it continued to address suburban and inner city issues in equal measure.

Bukidnon was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region X from 1978 to 1984, and returned two representatives, elected at-large, to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984. Under the new Constitution which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987, the province was reapportioned into three congressional districts; each district elected its member to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year. The approval of Republic Act No. 10184 on September 28, 2012 increased Bukidnon's representation by reapportioning the province into four congressional districts: the municipalities of Kalilangan and Pangantucan were segregated from the first district and the city of Valencia from the second district to form the new fourth district. The reconfigured districts elected their respective representatives beginning in the 2013 elections.

Under the new Constitution which was proclaimed on 11 February 1987, the province, including Cotabato City, was reapportioned into two congressional districts; each elected its member to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year. The province of Shariff Kabunsuan, established with the passage of Muslim Mindanao Autonomy Act No. 201 and its subsequent approval by plebiscite, was created out of Maguindanao's western municipalities in 2006. Per Section 5 of MMA Act No. 201, Cotabato City was grouped with Shariff Kabunsuan for the purpose of electing a congressional representative. It was this specific provision that became the subject of the Supreme Court case that ultimately voided MMA Act No. 201 for being unconstitutional, and leading to the disestablishment of the Shariff Kabunsuan in 2008 and the return of its territory to Maguindanao.

Saint-Cyr's wing had two divisions commanded by Duhesme, and Taponier.Digby Smith, Napoleonic Wars Databook, Greenhill Press, 1996, p. 111.

The passage of Republic Act No. 9727 on October 22, 2009 increased the number of the province's representatives from three to seven, starting in the 2010 elections. However, the conversion of Dasmariñas into a city has resulted in an additional legal name for the fourth district, which became the Lone District of Dasmariñas after the ratification of Republic Act No. 9723 on November 25, 2009. Meanwhile, despite the conversion of Bacoor and Imus into cities in 2012, their charters explicitly indicate the retention of their numerical designations as the second and third districts of the province. Republic Act No. 11069, signed into law on September 17, 2018, reapportioned Cavite into eight legislative districts — the most for any province — by creating a separate legislative district for the newly converted city of General Trias.

The 1832 Reform Act was the most controversial of the electoral reform acts passed by the Parliament. The Act reapportioned Parliament in a way fairer to the cities of the old industrial north, which had experienced tremendous growth. The Act also did away with most of the "rotten" and "pocket" boroughs such as Old Sarum, which with only seven voters (all controlled by the local squire) was still sending two members to Parliament. This act not only re-apportioned representation in Parliament, thus making that body more accurately represent the citizens of the country, but also gave the power of voting to those lower in the social and economic scale, for the act extended the right to vote to any man owning a household worth £10, adding 217,000 voters to an electorate of 435,000.

Even there, Labour had made significant inroads, with the usually safe seats of Hyde Park and Pottemewton converted to marginals, and in the case of the latter, slashing the majority to just 147 votes. Elsewhere, the Conservatives could be encouraged by the collapse of the Liberal threat in Far Headingley and May Sexton's efforts in Westfield looking increasingly likely to return her to the council with each election. Pre-empting the upcoming aldermanic elections that year, the Gentlemen's agreement in place between the two parties to divide aldermen totals proportional to their councillors, reapportioned a further three from the Conservatives to Labour, reflecting the new councillor totals - which were Labour's best and the Conservative's worst since 1947. 1947 was also the year in which the Communists obtained their greatest vote, a figure they very nearly matched, fielding a record number of ten candidates.

The new constitution required suffrage (the right to vote) for emancipated adult male slaves, now called Freedmen; it reapportioned the legislative districts to reflect the new status of freedmen as citizens, counting them as full members of the population. It conferred broad powers upon the state government, establishing universal public education (for blacks and whites) for the first time, as well as welfare institutions, absent under the previous government, which were needed in the aftermath of the war. The governor was given wide-ranging powers of appointment without legislative approval, including the power to appoint such top state officials as Supreme Court Judges. The governor was also the president of virtually all state organizations, including the board of trustees of the state's newly created Technical University, the board for public printing, and even the railroad commission.

The United States Census of 1920, conducted by the Census Bureau during one month from January 5, 1920, determined the resident population of the United States to be 106,021,537, an increase of 15.0 percent over the 92,228,496 persons enumerated during the 1910 Census. Despite the constitutional requirement that House seats be reapportioned to the states respective of their population every ten years according to the census, members of Congress failed to agree on a reapportionment plan following this census, and the distribution of seats from the 1910 census remained in effect until 1933. In 1929, Congress passed the Reapportionment Act of 1929 which provided for a permanent method of reapportionment and fixed the number of Representatives at 435. This was the first census in which a state – New York – recorded a population of more than ten million.

Isabela's at-large congressional district refers to the lone congressional district of the Philippines in the province of Isabela for various national legislatures before 1987. The province elected its representatives province- wide at-large from its reorganization under Article 6 of the Decreto de 18 junio de 1898 y las instrucciones sobre el régimen de las provincias y pueblos for the Malolos Congress in 1898 until it was reapportioned in 1987 under Section 1 of the ordinance annex of the 1987 Constitution of the Philippines into a first, second, third and fourth district. It was a single-member district throughout the ten legislatures of the Insular Government of the Philippine Islands from 1907 to 1935, the three legislatures of the Philippine Commonwealth from 1935 to 1946, and the seven congresses of the Third Philippine Republic from 1946 to 1972. On three occasions in its history, Isabela sent more than one member to the national legislatures who were also elected or appointed at-large.

The 4th district is the political region of Connecticut's famous "Gold Coast"—the string of prosperous towns and cities along the shore of Fairfield County, home of many very wealthy Manhattan business elite and celebrities. While rich communities like Greenwich, New Canaan, Stamford, Darien, Ridgefield, Fairfield, Wilton and Westport may typify the luxurious stereotypes of this area of Connecticut, the district is also home to one of the poorest cities in the United States, Bridgeport, the largest city in Connecticut. Before the redistricting, the 4th included exclusively the few towns on the Long Island Sound from New York to Bridgeport; it now extends northward and eastward to take in the suburbs of Danbury as well as many towns that once constituted the heart of the old 5th district. In so doing, the reapportioned district after 2002 followed many Republican natives of lower Fairfield County who had relocated further into Connecticut for economic reasons.

Per Section 5 of Republic Act No. 4849, South Cotabato's first separate representative was elected in a special election held on the same day as the 1967 senatorial elections and began to serve starting in the second half of the 6th Congress. When General Santos finally became a city under the same name on June 15, 1968 by virtue of Republic Act No. 5412, it remained part of the representation of South Cotabato in accordance with Section 104 of its city charter. South Cotabato was represented in the Interim Batasang Pambansa as part of Region XI from 1978 to 1984. The province returned three representatives, elected at-large, to the Regular Batasang Pambansa in 1984. Under the new Constitution which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987, the province was reapportioned into three congressional districts; each elected its member to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year. The passage of Republic Act No. 7228 and its subsequent ratification by plebiscite on 11 May 1992 separated South Cotabato's entire third district to create the new province of Sarangani.

The province was reapportioned into two congressional districts under the new Constitution which was proclaimed on February 11, 1987, and elected members to the restored House of Representatives starting that same year. The passage of Republic Act No. 9355 and its subsequent ratification by plebiscite in December 2006 separated seven municipalities from Surigao del Norte's first congressional district to form the new province of Dinagat Islands, which began to elect its own representative in the 2007 elections. Despite Dinagat Islands being nullified as a province by the Supreme Court of the Philippines on February 11, 2010 the decision was not yet rendered final and executory before the 10 May 2010 elections; therefore the Commission on Elections still organized separate elections for the Dinagat Islands' congressional representative and provincial officials. The representatives of the reconfigured first district of Surigao del Norte and the lone district of Dinagat Islands continued to represent their respective constituencies even after the Supreme Court rendered its original decision final and executory on 18 May 2010.

Tillman was sworn in as governor in Columbia on December 4, 1890, before a crowd of jubilant supporters, the largest to see South Carolina's governor inaugurated since Hampton's swearing-in. In his inaugural address, Tillman celebrated his victory, "the citizens of this great commonwealth have for the first time in its history demanded and obtained for themselves the right to choose her Governor; and I, as the exponent and leader of the revolution which brought about the change, am here to take the solemn oath of office ... the triumph of democracy and white supremacy over mongrelism and anarchy, of civilization over barbarism, has been most complete." Tillman made it clear he was not content that African Americans were allowed even a limited role in the political life of South Carolina: Wade Hampton III The legislature, at Tillman's recommendation, reapportioned itself, costing Charleston County four of its twelve seats, and other lowcountry counties one each, with the seats going to the upcountry. Although Tillman sought to reduce public expenditures, he was not successful in doing so as his reform program required spending, and the legislature could find few savings to make.
