Which State Will Gain or Lose House Seats in 2020?

A new U.S. Census release of state-by-state population changes sparked instant predictions about which states will gain and lose House seats after the 2020 census, the Wall Street Journal reports.

“If those trends hold up, 15 states would gain or lose districts after the 2020 census. The biggest gains would come to Texas, which is projected to clinch three more House seats, and Florida, a gainer of two seats. Arizona, North Carolina, Colorado and are all poised to grab one seat after 2020.”

“Nine states are projected to lose districts: Alabama, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia.”
