TX gains two House seats, CA loses one for first time after census numbers

[Counselor706]

The state of Texas will gain two more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and the state of California will lose one for the first time in its history, after new census data shows the population shifts of U.S. states over the past decade.

The initial numbers released Monday also pointed to which states will win or lose congressional seats due to results.

Texas was the biggest winner, adding two House seats, while Florida, Colorado, Montana, North Carolina, and Oregon will each gain one seat.

Meanwhile, the Associated Press reported that California is losing a seat "for the first time in 170 years of statehood," attributing the result to "slowed migration to the nation's most populous state, which was once a symbol of the country's expansive frontier."

DC will gain one, so it’s square.

The bottom line is, Trump would have gotten three more electoral votes under the new numbers. In other words, he still would have last.

And Texas is still becoming more purple by the day. It will flip at some point, and I don't see any plausible way for the Republicans to win the White House for a generation at least when that happens.

It's ok, with (R)'s gaining so much ground at the local/state level???

We won't need the WH.

Other than your razor think WH/Senate wins?? You guys got stuffed like a prison queens.

If Texas ever flips, I guarantee the Republicans there will 1) try to overturn the election, and 2) pass more legislation aimed at poor, black, and/or minorities to stop them from voting. Because, it's what they do, sadly.

Also totally illegal, so no, they don't.

It won't take much to win back the House next year. The Democrats only have a two vote majority in the House. So Florida and Texas figure big in the equation. Hence the Democrat attempt to destroy the Constitution, stack the deck, and consolidate power before they lose it all again.

It will be interesting to see what the census numbers look like in the next census, ten years from now. the Trump regime did everything it could to manipulate the numbers to favor the right in this census, so it isn't surprising the numbers favored the right. What's surprising is that they didn't favor the right more than they did, given all of the crap the Trump people tried to manipulate the numbers (most of which were knocked down by the courts).

Yet more evidence Trump needs to go to prison for sedition.

We didn't manipulate anything, race baiting and communism just isn't as popular as you wish it was.

You and all the communist (D)ipshits need to be deported to Venezuela, China and N. Korea so you can go live that "progressive" dream.

Most.ofnthenfuss is out of LA country....it's believed that under counting and covid caused the changes in most places.

Also, why do Repubs avoid the census to create undercounting?
