OXFORD, Miss., July 9 /PRNewswire-USNewswire/ -- (Apportionment.US) -- The U.S. District Court three-judge panel for the Northern District of Mississippi ruled yesterday that Congress has discretion to set the size of the United States House of Representatives, even if significant voter inequality results.
