Nolte: Fleeing Californians Could Cost State House Seat and Electoral Vote
Breitbart ^ | 12/18/2020 | John Notle

Posted on 12/18/2020 12:48:54 PM PST by ChicagoConservative27

The failed state of California is bleeding enough population to lose a House seat and an electoral vote.

There are only so many seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and so many electoral votes, and those are earned based on your specific state’s proportion of the population when compared to the rest of the country

Liberal refugees, don’t vote for what you fled.

"...don’t vote for what you fled."

That's what makes me cringe when I read about this, or about New Yorker feeling to Florida. These dumbasses are likely to turn red states to purple or blue.

They’ll still vote Dem wherever they end up and make up for it.

Hopefully determined after excluding illegal aliens from the calculations.

I once heard, that if illegals were excluded from apportionment for Congress, that California could lose 4 or 5 house seats, out of the 53 current seats Calif. has in the House.

They’ll end up being a plague of locusts, bringing with them the same failed politics are ruining California.

Some do some don’t, but I think you will find that many (say 65%) of those that move to a non-adjacent state will vote more conservatively.

Just offset the loss with more illiterate illegals. What are the chances that they WON’T be counted for apportionment (today’s SCOTUS ruling notwithstanding)?

I’d much rather all those people stay I. California and let that state continue to be awful rather than going to other states and bring their idiotic ideas with them.

“Liberal refugees, don’t vote for what you fled.”

Case in point - Georgia

Nope. Illegals are now counted. I would not be surprised if kali-fornia gains seats.

and just like illegals, they go to a red state and destroy it. The first thing they say once they go a to a red city is “ow wow, guns. But you know what? We need a gay parade!”

And how many more will they lose when the illegals are removed from the count?

Nope. They are not going to vote for the same crazy harsh lockdown policies that they fled from.
They will make the rest of California more blue, but that won't matter when they have less electoral votes.
