Six states to gain House seats, seven to lose seats

Six states to gain House seats, seven to lose seats

BY REID WILSON - 04/26/21 03:26 PM EDT

Texas is set to add two U.S. House seats to its delegation after a decade in which the state added more than 4 million new residents.

Colorado, Florida, North Carolina and Oregon will all add one more seat. Montana will add a second district, 30 years after it lost that second seat in a previous round of apportionment.

The states losing seats are almost all in the Rust Belt. Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania continued to bleed seats as residents moved elsewhere.

West Virginia’s population declined by a larger share than any other state over the last decade, shrinking by 3.2 percentage points. The state’s congressional delegation will drop from three seats to two beginning in the next Congress.

And for the first time since it joined the Union, California’s congressional delegation will shrink by one seat.

Texas gained two seats, and Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Montana, and Oregon each gained one.

Apparently, had NY had just 90 more people they wouldn't have lost a seat. Was the count in 2020, after Cuomo got some 15,000 seniors killed by Covid? Or was it in 2019?

If, as anti-Covid-vaxxers claim, https://www.poynter.org/fact-checking/2021/robert-f-kennedy-jr-said-the-covid-19-vaccine-is-the-deadliest-vaccine-ever-made-thats-not-true/ , https://gospelnewsnetwork.org/2021/11/23/covid-shots-are-the-deadliest-vaccines-in-medical-history/ , The Vaccine is deadly, where in the US have Pfizer and Moderna hidden the millions of bodies of those who died of "vaccine injury"? Is reality a Big Pharma Shill?

Millions now living should have died. Anti-Covid-Vaxxer ghouls hardest hit.

It's not called the "2020 Census" for nothing. April Fools Day is "Census Day"

I thought I heard awhile back that NY was losing two seats.  Now it is just one seat.  I do not trust even the census.  They are NOT above corruption.

And I heard NY would gerrymander AOC's district out of existence.  If that happens, I will be happy.  Her own Dems are trying to gerrymander her manic self out of politics.  Or so it was reported.

This doesn't necessarily mean that the GOP will gain those seats. Demographics are dramatically changing and then there is of course that pesky issue of election integrity.

Live in harmony with one another; do not be haughty, but associate with the lowly, do not claim to be wiser than you are.  Do not repay anyone evil for evil, but take thought for what is noble in the sight of all.  If it is possible, so far as it depends on you, live peaceably with all…do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good.

FL just took a step to try and insure that.  Passed a bill like GA's.

AOC is the best thing that can happen to the GOP, as far as GOTV, and voter anger. I hope she stays put in her exact location the next 40 years.
