Yep...21 members I believe. But there is no set numbber for HOR
unlike 3 per state for Senate..
Look at it mathematically this way: 360 members divided by 36 states
gives an average of 10 HOR per state. Ekiti and a number of small
states have 5 - 7 members, while some populous states have about twice
or more than the average.
And there you have it. Large differences in delegations also exist in
the US House.
