For example, you could contribute $2,500 to a Roth IRA with one provider and $3,000 with a second provider. You cannot contribute $5,500 to the first Roth IRA and $5,500 to the second provider. Your total contribution limit is $5,500 for all accounts for the tax year.
The decennial apportionment also determines the size of each state's representation in the U.S. Electoral College âthat is, any state's number of electors equals the size of its total congressional delegation (i.e., House seat(s) plus Senate seats).
The second reason is that the number of representatives plus the two senators in each state is equal to the number of electoral votes the state has in elections. That is to say, the more representatives a state has, the more influence the state can have on the election outcomes. The U.S. House of Representatives website lists the number of representatives in each state. Depending on a stateâs population, representatives may be assigned congressional districts.
