Most states gained seats and, in the case of states which grew slower or shrank like LA, they lost a seat last time and likely had a larger margin to work with before losing another seat.

Kind of hard for small states to lose a seat without either massive negative growth or just regressing toward the size of the “average” congressional district like Rhode Island did.

Remember the number of seats is fixed (435) and each state must have at least one seat.

So if you gain population, but not as fast as North Carolina, this can happen.

This is why we must keep cheating to win. We’ve been doing it for years.
