When the 435 seats in the U.S. House of Representatives were last distributed among the states after the 2000 census, widespread population changes led to shifts in a dozen seats - with northern states such as Michigan and Wisconsin generally losing out to the South.
Rep. Candice Miller, a second-term Republican from Michigan, wants to stop that from happening after the next decennial census, in 2010.
But her solution is an explosive one on Capitol Hill: She wants to keep illegal immigrants and other non-citizens from being counted when it comes to congressional representation.
