Reapportionment occurs when congressional seats are redistributed among states based on population changes, typically following the decennial census. One example is the shift of seats from states like New York and Ohio to states such as Texas and Florida, reflecting population growth in the South and West. Another example is the adjustment in the number of electoral votes for states after the 2020 Census, where states like California lost electoral votes while others gained them due to demographic changes.
