The US Census Bureau announced Monday that the total population of the United States has topped 331 million people, marking the country's second slowest population growth rate in US history. Amid that, Texas will gain two seats in the redistricting process, the results found.
Additionally, Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina and Oregon will each gain one seat in Congress.
California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia will all lose congressional seats ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.

Correct.
On the whole, this is good news.
NY will lose a seat. Wondering (hoping) if AOC’s seat will be redrawn out of existence.
Democrats on social media are pretty happy about this. They were expecting worse.
So us folks in PA are losing a seat. The RINO controlled state legislature, who hasn’t done jack shit about election fraid, has the perfect opportunity to redistrict a Democrat out of office. These pussies will probably change the congressional districts so that the most conservative congressmen lose their seats and the Rats have a net pickup even after PA loses a seat.
I’d worry more about the PA supreme court. The districts were decently drawn when the court intervened and tossed them.
We’ve gained 50 million people in 20 years.

Well not if you look at it In my perspective. I don’t see it as a positive sign that Texas will stay red for too long.. I see it as an opposite bad sign that we are having influx of people leaving blue cities in droves to texas. I still remember when Colorado was a red state now the liberal locust have devoured that state. Believe me a lot of California folk have made a move to San Antonio. I mean, think about it where are all those people coming from. Young folk aren’t having kids ...plain and simple it’s just the influx of people leaving the states that they have already destroyed. Just my two cents worth living in Texas I see it
And how many are US citizens?
Red today, blue tomorrow.
And most of that 50 million they are counting or estimating are illegal aliens.
If you think this year is surprising wait 10 years until the next census because people are fleeing cities like rats running off a sinking ship. I have relatives in Wyoming tell me that construction is booming there and house prices have gone through the roof. The baby boomers are retiring en masse and they will not be retiring in high tax liberal pestholes.
It will be interesting to see the ramifications of people working remotely, now they can pretty much live wherever they want without worrying about the commute.
“NY will lose a seat. Wondering (hoping) if AOC’s seat will be redrawn out of existence.”
Most likely it will be one of the Long Island seats held by a Republican, given that the Democrat-controlled legislature will dominate the redistricting commission.
Texas seats where?....:Austin ElPaso? 😉
Well, the census missed me again this time around. Almost a perfect record, but they got me in 2010.
Agreed. We’re in a small, rural Texas county. Our local electric coop has been working 24/7 almost for months since the last riot season to install orders for NEW service(i.e. new homes, modular, and mobile homes put on purchased land).
@dfwgator: Been WFM every other week for about 1 year. Saves me 200 miles/week in fuel costs(V8 conversion van) and less laundry(no need to dress for work to go into the spare bedroom/office). I do know software engineers relocating to tax-less areas since they are 90% WFM now and probably will remain that way.
When I was growing up and learning politics, NY had 45 and California had 32. Florida had TEN.
