Why is this so great? On the positive side, Texas, Georgia, South Carolina and Utah are pure red states, at least on the presidential level. But Louisiana is red and lost a seat. And Washington is deep blue.
Florida, Arizona, Nevada, Ohio, Iowa and Missouri are swing states and doesn’t it matter who exactly migrated there?
The only pure blue state losing out are New York, Illinois, Mass., Michigan, New Jersey and Pennsylvanis, although I must say that Pennsylvania had a red 2010.
The new congressional districts are drawn by the state legislatures and most of those are now controlled by the GOP.
