Big Changes Ahead for Voting Maps After Next Census

by Michael Li | December 20, 2024

New population estimates from the Census Bureau point to significant changes in the composition of the House after the 2030 census.

Using the new data, the Brennan Center estimates that if trends of the last two years continue, the South will gain nine seats in the reapportionment of congressional districts after the next census — the largest single-decade gain for the region in history.

Florida and Texas could see especially large increases of four seats each, with Texas within striking distance of adding a fifth seat. North Carolina would also see its congressional delegation increase by a seat.

I don't know if the map can take into account the mass deportations that are coming. Currently illegals are counted in the census and included in division of districts. As a result "sanctuary" cities are over represented and have more congressional seats than they should.

Looks like Lieberals will need affirmative action for small states (Electoral College) to keep them relevant.

When I was younger, Massachusetts had 13 Congressional seats; now it only has nine.  State and local anti-growth policies are allowing other states to eclipse Mass in population growth.

I wonder if liberals reproduce at the same rate as conservatives.
