The new Congressional reapportionment numbers are out.
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).
You’ll notice John McCain won six of the eight states gaining seats.
You’ll notice Barack Obama won eight of the ten states losing seats.

Still, nice to see NY, MA and NJ losing 4 electoral votes in 2012.
Texas gets 4 extra votes.
Minor benefit to GOP, but not massive since many of those states are purple states, can go either way.
Prepare for the whining, legal convolutions, and other means of cheating which the libs have developed to a fine art.
ANY repub that bends should be drawn and quartered.
This is war. No compromises.
Dennis Kucinich could lose his seat! Whoo Hoo!
Washington? Why would anyone move there?
Which judges need to be bought off by the dems to change this? //sarc//
“ANY repub that bends should be drawn and quartered.”
Exactly how would a Republican “bend” in the context of this news?
California will end up having two more House seats than it should have because of the large number of illegals living in California.
That’s where the state congressional and governor races come in. For example, Pennsylvania’s new Governor and Republican dominance in the State House means one less Rat district.
And for the first time in forever, CA doesn’t gain.
One would think that Dems would look at WHY folks are leaving their single-party states? But, no, they won’t.
We can only hope that as folks evacuate NY/NJ/MA, etc., they leave their voting habits behind.
?!?!?
I fully expect the left to not accept the outcome.
They never do. They only respect the rules and the process when the outcome favors them.
Otherwise, they attempt to change the rules or process.
And so will Texas . . . .
East of the Cascades is conservative and a great economy.
Put all their names on slips of paper, put the slips in a barrel, then start drawing as many as you want.
We win 19-5.... or about 14+ in my estimate.....
The dems will attempt, through judicial hoops,
to not lose as many seats,
and the repubs won’t fight them.
Put all their names on slips of paper, put the slips in a barrel, then start drawing as many as you want.
Ping!
If you ignore almost every person around you, it’s pretty nice.
