Non-Partisan Group Estimates Number of Electoral Votes in Each State in 2012
Ballot Access News ^ | April 14, 2009 | Richard Winger

After the 2010 census has been held, the number of seats held by each state in the U.S. House of Representatives will change. The National Conference of State Legislatures recently estimated what the 2010 reapportionment will mean for each state.

Eight states are expected to lose one seat each, in the U.S. House and in the Electoral College. They are Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.

States that will gain will be Texas (3 seats), and one each for Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada and Utah.

If the bill now pending in Congress to expand the House from 435 seats to 437 seats is signed into law, then one more state would gain a seat, and the District of Columbia would get its first voting seat.

This could help the Republicans in 2012.

It could, but remember that apportionment of the House seats is being done through the federal census of 2010, and unfortunately, the 'Rats are in control of that. So these numbers in the posted article are only speculation.

If the bill now pending to expand the House from 435 saeats to 437 seats is signed into law, then one more state would gain a seat, and the District of Columbia would get its first voting seat.

That's if such a flagrantly unconstitutional law is not struck down by the judiciary. DC is not a state and is not entitled to representation in the House. But then again, if the federal bench is unwilling to tackle the Obama constitutional eligibility issue, it's doubtful that they would have any concern for the preservation of the Constitution at all.

Let’s hope that ACORN does not screw around with this.

Net pick up of 5 in solid red states. Wouldn’t have helped last year, though.

“Eight states are expected to lose one seat each, in the U.S. House and in the Electoral College. They are Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio, and Pennsylvania.”

The funny thing is all of those states are poster children for failed progressive policies.
