UT was just short in 2000. But it’s likely that a Dem state will be just short in 2010. You’re not getting much (2008 at the earliest, maybe only 2010). It strikes me as a bad deal politically and then a constitutional violation as well.

From an earlier post of mine on another thread:

---

The last 6 seats (430-435) go to MI, OH, CA, GA, IL, and MN. The next states in line to get seats would be MO, FL, CA, TX, MA, and NY. I want to say that 7 seats turning in a decade is low, so I think TX could go to +3.

These results were based on official Census Bureau estimates — which may not be correct, and there will be further changes before 2010. However I would expect FL and CA to knock out IL and MN at the very least.

Also, this deal doesn’t correct the problem that caused Utah to not get the seat. The census bureaus still doesn’t count US citizens involved in missionary activities in foreign countries, but does count active duty military stationed overseas.
