How many voting members are in the House of Representatives?

Why this is the answer

The House of Representatives has 435 voting members. Each one represents a congressional district, and the districts are spread across the 50 states according to population. California, the state with the most people, has 52 voting members; Wyoming, the state with the fewest, has one. The Constitution never wrote down 435. It set rules instead: every state gets at least one representative, and seats are divided according to a census taken every ten years, with no more than one representative for every thirty thousand people. At the start the House was far smaller. While the Constitution was being debated, Federalist No. 55 noted that the first House would have sixty-five members, a number that could grow once the first census was taken. USCIS's 2008 civics lessons say the House has had 435 voting members since 1912. The total stays put now; what moves after each census is the split among the states. A state that gains many residents can pick up a seat, and one that loses residents can lose one. Since the overall total stays at 435, one state's delegation grows only when another's shrinks. Each of those members represents one district and is elected by its voters. The word "voting" in the question is there for a reason. The 435 come from the 50 states. Some territories have nonvoting delegates or resident commissioners instead, as the official list notes in its answer about your representative, and they are not counted among the 435. The answer USCIS lists is four hundred thirty-five. A common confusion is with the Senate's much smaller number. Some applicants also remember 52, the size of California's delegation, and give that number instead. Keeping in mind that the House is the large chamber and the Senate the small one makes the two numbers hard to swap.
