What 2010 Census Tells Us About 2020 Reapportionment

The 2010 redistricting season is beginning to wrap up, with only a dozen or so states still waiting to announce their new lines. And soon we'll have our first race under the revised congressional apportionment.

Yet for those of us who follow congressional races closely, the Census Bureau granted us an early Christmas present when it released 2011 estimates for population in each state. Using these numbers, we can extrapolate changes in population from the 2010 numbers, and estimate what the population of each state would look like in 2020 if the trends hold true. This then enables us to determine what the next congressional apportionment could look like.

These projections suggest that while population shifts have slowed, the basic tendency remains the same: People are leaving the Northeast and Midwest for the South and West. Every state that is projected to lose seats is in the Northeast and Midwest, with the exception of West Virginia, which is technically a part of the South.

So, finally NJ stops the bleeding? 80's, 90's, 2010 And RI down to one- 1 million + with one congressman same as Wyoming nearly 600,000 in 2020?

If anchor babies are not outlawed, and the census keeps ignoring immigration status in surveys, this nation will be finished in 2021.

With a racist DOJ in charge of enforcing the Voting Rights Act—getting our new districts settled here in the South may have to wait until a Republican is in the White House.
Honky Hater Holder is trying to get the courts to force us to draw our lines to please HIM—gerrymander Democrat majority districts even though Republicans won the elections and the right to draw them as WE please.
That's why one of the first things the new Capital Hill Dem majority of 2007 did was to extend the anachronistic and racist Voting Rights Act.
Another one the 2nd Term RINO Bush rolled over for.

What I would rather know is where the growth is coming from. I can guess that Florida is growing as the population ages and flees NY, NJ, PA and retires to Florida.
RI is corrupt and anyone with half a brain leaves.
Jobs have fled the rust belt and will continue to do so; moving to Alabama and Texas.

Banking is moving to North Carolina.

These migrations are all educated people with money or transferable skills.

Colorado gets tech jobs and envo’s from around d the country.

Oregon gets Californians fleeing California.

Now with companies leaving California and retires doing likewise to save their monies from the democrats; how is California growing? Would you guess illegals? Let’s see if I understand this right. Money and skills leave and uneducated and no money enter the state. Just a great plan to collapse the state.

California is dead.
