2030 Apportionment Forecast

[Dont Taz Me Bro]

Congressional reapportionment forecast is out for 2030 based on updated 2023 Census numbers. There are still seven years to go, so things can change, but there is a common denominator here between the states losing and a commonality between the states gaining and it's not hard to see.

Potential 13 seat swing in Congress. Good news for Vivek's 2nd term!

Looks like Californians moving to Texas
Could turn them Blue

I see it!!

The states that are losing are in shades of pink and the states that are gaining are in shades of green!

Texas has been getting purple for some time now. Also depends on who is moving and their motivations.

If Texas ever goes blue is there any way for a Repub to win the White House?

Actually, yes, if they sweep the Rust Belt, at least currently. Not sure if that would work under this projected map.

Does "purple" mean RINO?

I dont want to catch any of those loony fuckers from those shitholes losing people
Maybe its just the decent people leaving.

It is also a question of where they are moving to.

Those moving to cities will more likely vote Blue
Those moving to rural areas will tend to vote Red

When I was growing up in OKC Texas and OKiehoma were both blue as was the entire South until Reagan.

Leftists arent known for logic or reasoning.

Indeed, just like with this, creating an approved replacement logic when they don't like the real one

People like clean water and places that don’t go boom due to zero regulations.

People rarely change their politics when they move

Why not?

So you agree... thanks

No, which is why the Democrats are flooding Texas with future Dem voters. Nothing says America like perpetual One Party Rule.

People vote with their feet
