BISMARCK, N D A long struggle over reapportioning the North Dakota House of Representatives opens with a public hearing. The House Political Subdivisions Committee will hear three plans to realign 113 seats, including proposals to add two seats, reduce to 61, or adopt a compromise of 109 with county parity.
