The constitutionally-mandated reappportionment of congressional delegates (and thus electoral votes) according to the latest census is looking good for Republicans.
States gaining Congressional seats: Arizona (1), Florida (2), Georgia (1), Nevada (1), South Carolina (1), Texas (4), Utah (1), Washington (1).
States losing Congressional seats: Illinois (1), Iowa (1), Louisiana (1), Massachusetts (1), Michigan (1), Missouri (1), New Jersey (1), New York (2), Ohio (2), Pennsylvania (1).
Of those gaining representatives, only Nevada and Washington voted Democratic in the 2008 presidential election. Of those losing representatives, only Louisiana and Missouri went for the Republican.
Why do you think the population shift and demographic changes favors Republicans? Aren’t the progressives supposed to be the wave of the future?
