For the only time in the nation's history, Congress could not muster a majority to pass a reapportionment bill. Thus, the 1920 reapportionment would be a true zero sum game; one state's gain would be another state's loss. Gannett systematically mapped the country for the census, including many parts of the previously unmapped country west of the 100th meridian (present-day Dakotas, Nebraska, Kansas, and Texas). Congress, in other words, reapportioned power among the states but quietly acquiesced to rural malapportionment within states. [Extracted from the article]
