Blue states appear to be on the brink of a growth decline after a census analysis released Tuesday found that Democratic strongholds are likely to lose congressional seats to their Republican counterparts after 2030.
New York and California specifically are projected to lose a combined six seats, while Texas and Florida may gain eight, according to the 2025-based estimates forecast by Jonathan Cervas at Carnegie Mellon University and shared by Redistricting Network.
The new data most notably underscores a looming downfall for the Empire State, which has been steadily losing seats since the 1940s.
"This is not good news for New York or California," said Jeff Wice, director of the New York Elections, Census, and Redistricting Institute at New York Law School, according to the New York Post.
Other blue state delegations, including Illinois, Rhode Island and Oregon, are also projected to lose one to two seats, while red states such as Utah and Idaho are expected to make small gains, the analysis shows...

Exactly.
the census needs to be redone now. it was fraudulent.
The change would be even more dramatic if we only counted people who we actually counted, and not the “drag ‘em over the goal-line” scientific estimates.
Now why would he say that I wonder ?
This is wonderful.
California should be losing 15-20 seats, because of miscounting of illegal aliens, not merely 8.
It won't happen if Gavin Newsom wins in 2028.
CA and NY will lose -1. FL and TX will get +1. Other states like VA, CO will get +1.
Can it be possible? Is the worst over? Is Dawn coming?
Not enough of a loss and not soon enough
I don’t think that’s dawn or the sun looming on the Horizon of the future. Not at the rate we’re going now And that it may only get worse
Can it be possible? Is the worst over? Is Dawn coming?
***************
The current demographic changes over the next 30 years won’t favor the democrat coalition.
Without a huge amount of foreigners migrating to the United States they’re toast.
If you think democraps, who are evil, and I mean evil, will let this pass, you have another thing coming. There is NO fairness or civility with them.
This isn’t necessarily good news. Red states are gaining seats because they’re receiving an influx of people from blue states who are bringing they’re blue state politics with them.
That is why they are so militantly and aggressively fighting any and all deportations! Democrats will fight Trump tooth and nail and relentlessly on this one.
How will those leaving blue states vote in the red state? Will they still vote for dems?
Democrat party leaders: “We need more Somali’s!!”.
One of the most important laws this Congress can pass is to modify the census so as to count all persons in a state but also provide a count of only USA citizens in that same state. Congressional reapportionment should be based upon the count of USA citizens only.
We should all be requesting this census change to our Congress-critters as often as possible.
Many have noted that if this system were to be used the level of concern that democRATS have for the illegal aliens would dissipate.
They are parts of the virus that is spreading they need to stay in California and NY.
And it won't be Demoncrats seats...It will be Red...
