Something to root for. RI meet Vermont.

Will WVA lose a seat as well?

[Regulator]

Maybe we should tell them they are losing it to illegal alien dominated districts in California?

That should explode their heads

There are ranches in Texas that are bigger than Rhode Island, seriously. They need to throw in the towel and be folded into one of those other tiny little northeastern states that wield far too much power.

Anyone familiar with Rhode Island knows why people are clawing their way out of that cesspool.

[Eric in the Ozarks]

Wow.
I thought MN was a jobs haven...

Gee, that loss of the state tax deduction will probably encourage more snowbirds, commuters, etc to use lower tax states as their primary residence by the 2020 census, costing another safe Dem seat.

After hearing their dumb idiot congressman speak on the floor yesterday, I’d vote with my feet and head southwest.

Under an analysis using a calculator from the University of Michigan’s Population Studies Research Center, the current population estimates would have the following effect on representation in the 435-seat Congress.
Gain seats:
Colorado +1
Florida +1
North Carolina +1
Oregon +1
Texas +2
Lose seats:
Illinois -1
Michigan -1
Minnesota -1
New York -1
Pennsylvania -1
West Virginia -1

The entire zip code of Rhode Island can squat on a stuffed quahog and eat it.

Meanwhile Pennsylvania has grown and regained the position of 5th largest state despite the best efforts of Tommie (the Commie) Wolf to turn it into a socialist zhit-hole.

We might actually regain the recently lost 19th Congressional District.

Well, the RI libtards better raise taxes to ensure the exodus of the state doesn’t effect their governmental budgets...

Based on my experience in eastern CT and New England in general, it wouldn't explode their heads. The folks up there are merely resigned, and expect to get more of the same.

[lightman]

Crap, you posted that while I still typing my reply.

[Mears]

There are lovely parts of Rhode Island.

I like the state.

[hinckley buzzard]

Good. One less blue congressman after 2020.

[fieldmarshaldj]

PA’s growth is too slow. It’ll lose another seat.

[fieldmarshaldj]

RI’s Congressmembers are both Commie REDS.

[Redbob]

Texas will pick up another coupla seats in the next census, I bet.
