Under Gavin's Watch: So Many People Fled California It Could Lose a Congressional Seat in Census

Eureka! We found that gold you hear about in California. And it just left.

California lost so many people in the last decade that when the census numbers are all tabulated, it could lose a congressional seat. Even the state’s Rose Bowl game just left for Texas.

The San Diego Union-Tribune reports the California Department of Finance says the state grew by only 21,200 residents in the past year, the lowest since 1900.

“This is a real sea change in California, which used to be this state of pretty robust population growth,” said Hans Johnson, a demographer at the Public Policy Institute of California. “It hasn’t been for some time now. But it’s now gotten to the point where the state is essentially not growing population-wise at all.”

[…] If the trends continue statewide and California’s population decreases, one of the most immediate effects could be the loss of a seat in Congress, Johnson said.

A Facebook group for people fleeing California that I’ve been monitoring for months is teeming with tales of getting the heck out of the Golden State. They don’t want to leave, but Leftist politics, remote work, fires, high energy prices, and high taxes force their hand.

They post photos of the homeless camps, rates for moving vans, give tips on where you can get a coveted 26′ truck from UHaul, ask for help in finding the most conservative cities in America to move to. They call on fleeing Californians to respect the beliefs of the state they’re moving to. Another person posts a parody article saying Texas has issued a stay-at-home order for Californians. A woman posts a receipt from a San Francisco parking garage to explain how the city is bleeding her dry.

Didn’t they give IDs to all the illegals though?

[Organic Panic]

Just double count the illegals to make up for it.

[Pilgrim's Progress]

For everyone that flees the state of confusion: Carnopornia, 100 illegals take their place. It all depends on how the SCOTUS rules on this issue.

[joethedrummer]

It’s okay... - they’ll be letting in MORE than enough illegals to make up the difference... and THEN some.

[Bob434]

Newsome will figure out some way that it will be a republican seat if possible

[blueunicorn6]

“Keep those people off my beach!”

[FatherofFive]

Problem is, those exiles will continue to vote democRat and steal seats elsewhere.

[mewzilla]

Cuomo to Newsom: Hold my beer.

“It’s okay... - they’ll be letting in MORE than enough illegals to make up the difference... and THEN some.”

President Biden will make up the losses in 2 months after he becomes Potus.

[Mariner]

Everyone but us native born should leave.

Now.

[SmokingJoe]

Only they won’t.
They haven’t in the last 10 years. Don’t see why the next 10 years would be any different.
Even illegals don’t want to live in the same hell holes they fled from.

[forgotten man]

In the past few years all of the population growth in California was due to illegal immigrants and the children of illegal immigrants. If the population of California is going down it must be because things are so bad that even the illegals are leaving.

[Amendment10]

Throw in possible desperate Democratic violations of Section 2 of the 14th Amendment (14A) in the 2020 elections, that section a penalty for states that abridge the voting power of citizens in any way, and California, along with other renegade states, might lose even more seats.

• ”14th Amendment, Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several States according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each State, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the Executive and Judicial officers of a State, or the members of the Legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such State, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such State."

• Apportionment of representation in House of Representatives

• Note that voting rights amendments ratified after 14A was ratified may change how the number of House seats that a state loses as punishment is calculated.

[WASCWatch]

supreme Court just decided that Trump’s executive order to allot Congressional seats based on citizenship can move forward at this time. If it goes into effect, California could lose at least ten seats.

[CIB-173RDABN]

Newsome will figure out some way that it will be a republican seat if possible

—
Of course it is possible. The state has already rigged it so that often only Democrats are on the ballot.

[Toespi]

California will ALWAYS vote Democrat and when the CALIFORNIA REFUGEES arrive in Texas, the state will be plundered.

[aces]

There goes all the working ones

[taxcontrol]

I am of the opinion that if you do not count illegals, California could loose an additional seat or two.

Gavin? Oh, you must mean Governor Nuisance.
