Are you serious?

There are 435 congressmen.

They get reapportioned.

They don’t add congressmen.

I believe there is a congressman for each electoral vote. If you give a state more electoral votes, you give them more congressmen. Well, not senators. That number is fixed at two per state.

Well, it's a valid misunderstanding. But that's all. The permanent apportionment act of 1929 isn't necessarily common knowledge.
