Yes, but how is it determined which district is lost?
This is an opportunity to get rid of the few remaining Pubbies in the state.
Just read this:
“Republicans control the mapmaking process in key states like Florida, North Carolina and Texas, where there are new House seats to be created amid booming suburban populations. The G.O.P. is also likely to eliminate a Democratic district in Ohio, which will lose one seat.
At the same time, Democratic lawmakers in Illinois and New York are poised to eliminate Republican seats as they draw new maps.
And several key states with changes coming to their maps — California, Colorado, Michigan and Montana — have independent commissions tasked with determining new legislative boundaries on a nonpartisan or bipartisan basis.
The 2021 redistricting process will also be the first time since 1961 that a raft of mostly Southern states will not have their maps subject to a preclearance process from the Justice Department, following the Supreme Court’s 2013 decision to strike down Section 5 of the Voting Rights Act. The court last month heard arguments that could undo more elements of the act that would impede the ability to sue to block new maps.
Without having to seek preclearance, Republicans in states where they control all levers of government — Florida, Georgia and Texas, to name three — will have far more influence on the new maps than they have had in past reapportionment cycles.”
