New Census Apportionment Counts

· Leave a Comment

Dave Wasserman summarizes the electoral implications of the new U.S. Census:

  • States gaining one seat: Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina, Oregon
  • States gaining two seats: Texas
  • States losing one seat: California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, West Virginia

Under these allocations, Joe Biden would have won 303 electoral votes instead of 306 in 2020.
