At first you’d think the losing states being Rat controlled is good, but the bad thing about that is they will just gerrymander the one republican district out so that the only person that loses is the republican.

While the states that add a district since it’s new it’s anyone’s game. Overall it’s better to be gaining seats, but it won’t neccesarily translate to more Republicans in the house. We’ll need to see what the actual make up of each district is and how they plan to gerrymander them.


Good point.

I have not looked recently but how many of the liberal/progressive states have zero Republican Representatives now?

I recall New York has zero Republican Representatives right now, so a reapportionment loss in New York would be a direct Democrat loss.
