Looks like Democrats can't redistrict themselves out of this mess.
It looks like Republicans are coming out ahead by at least 11 new seats.
If they change the rules in the census....they'll lose even more. If they throw out all of the dead people and illegals voting in Democrat states Democrats will see a drop in House seats. Heck....close to 20-40% of CA's population is undocumented or anchor babies.
Obama and Biden were giving driver's licenses to illegals so they could vote and count toward the census to pad their numbers in the House.
Hopefully the Supreme Court eliminates this practice.

The first Trump administration argued that the “persons in each State” that the 14th Amendment refers to had long been interpreted to mean “inhabitants.” Inhabitants, it asserted, do not include “every individual physically present within a State’s boundaries at the time of the census,” noting that past administrations had excluded temporary aliens and foreign diplomatic personnel for apportionment.
The administration also argued that the Constitution and relevant law authorize the executive branch to determine who is to be counted as an inhabitant in the census. The president, therefore, had discretion to omit “persons with debatable ties to a State,” like “aliens living within a jurisdiction without the sovereign’s permission to settle there.”
The administration pointed to Franklin v. Massachusetts to support its claims. There, the Supreme Court held that the President George H.W. Bush administration could include Defense Department employees deployed overseas in the census. Then, the Court found that the president’s duties in the census process are not solely “ceremonial or ministerial,” and that federal law “does not curtail the President’s authority to direct the [Commerce] Secretary in making policy judgments that result in ‘the decennial census.’”
