ALSO Congressional apportionment is a dumb and outdated idea. I don't see why the House shouldn't have at least 500/600 members. :gum: As it stands the House has some of the worst population / seat ratios in the world

Why are we only hearing about this now?!

I don't understand your question sorry. The 2020 census was always going to be used for House apportionment (by law)

This could have a strong effect on the Electoral College in 2024

Political buffs on YouTube have been talking about this for a while. Overall the new electoral map is expected to favor republicans but not dramatically.

Arizona, we gained about 600k people since 2010. Not sure why the southwest didn’t gain anything, AZ, NV and NM all gained population in differing amounts over the past decade.

You can probably blame it on how shitty the census was handled.

But it’s actually not a worst case scenario for Dems because Texas and Florida were expected to gain more and NY and RI were expected to lose more.
