Blue states lose House seats - Red states gain House seats

Red states get more "purple" is more like it

I wonder how much longer Texas can sustain this. Once they go blue its all over

difference in 2020 election:

Texas: +2 rep
Fla: +1 Rep
NC: +1 Rep
MT: +1 Rep
OH: -1 rep
WV: -1 rep

NET: +3 rep

2016 election change:

Texas: +2 rep
Fla: +1 Rep
NC: +1 Rep
MT: +1 Rep
OH: -1 rep
WV: -1 rep
MI: -1 rep
Penn: -1 rep

NET: +1 rep

with respect to path of victory from 2016's trump win, only a net change of (+1) EC vote

I assume the people in Montana are Californians. Tech people.

It’s not a good thing.

It always surprises me those New England states aren’t more populated than they are. Especially given how old they are.

In the case of Texas, more EC votes that likely go to a GOP Presidential candidate. However, possibly could mean one or two of those additional seats is won by a Democrat.

Redistricting will be interesting.

Texas and Montana are GOP gains. DeSantis and the last twenty years is making Florida a GOP gain.

North Carolina seems to be transitioning GOP. Their legislature has been GOP-led for the last decade but they seem to like having a Democrat as Governor. This should result in an extra GOP seat in the House.

Oregon is a gain for Dems, there's simply no question on that.

At first glance most would think Cali is going to be a Democrat loss but it may not be. Cali's redistricting is done by a 5-Dem, 5-GOP panel. Considering how much power the Democrats hold in California it wouldn't shock me to see them try to squeeze out a GOP seat (it will be incredibly difficult as those aren't the small, heavily populated districts which are more easily gerrymandered out, but it's California so "crazy" is always an option). Most likely it's a Democrat loss.

Contrary to North Carolina, Colorado has been going Democrat. This will most likely be a gain for them.

West Virginia has only GOP members in the House so that's a GOP loss.

Illinois: See California.

Michigan: Democrat loss.

Pennsylvania: The GOP held the State Senate since '94 and State House since 2010. Democrats lose a seat here.

New York: If they can squeeze out a GOP Representative, they will. Their legislature is heavily Democrat (both chambers) and... well... Cuomo. I'm going to call this one a GOP loss.

Ohio: The GOP has held the "trifecta" here for the last decade. This will be a Democrat loss.


GOP loses 2 (WVA and NY) but gains 4 (TX, MT, FL & NC) while Dems lose 4 (CA, IL, MI & OH) but gain 2 (OR & CO)

Final Total: GOP +2 (effectively +4 since the Dems lose 2 at the same time)


***EDIT***

Make that GOP +3, I forgot Texas won 2 seats while I was writing all this.

Maybe, maybe not.

For Texas many are moving to Austin. That's doing little but making a liberal area more liberal. Speaking of which, Austin is currently re-thinking their public camping allowance and I can't help but wonder if some of that isn't due to people coming from LA, San Fran, etc. quietly whispering "trust us when we say you need to get a handle on that shite now".



Others moving to more red areas have more of a chance to become red-pilled due to experiencing the differences in blue areas then red than turn their neighbors blue, unless they move in clumps and create whole neighborhoods together of course.
