(Bloomberg) -- Texas will gain the most new seats in the U.S. House of Representatives under new Census numbers released Monday, while states in the Northeast and Midwest lose seven in a shift of political clout to Republican strongholds before the 2022 midterms.

New York would have kept all 27 seats in the U.S. House if the Census Bureau had counted 89 more people in the state, all other things being equal. Instead, it lost one, Census officials said.

The bureau released its decennial count of state populations Monday, reshuffling the 435 House seats among the 50 states to account for population changes over the last decade.

Those changes alone could be enough to decide the balance of power: Democrats hold a narrow advantage in the House now, with a margin of fewer than half a dozen seats.

The states gaining seats are largely ones that former President Donald Trump won in 2020, while states President Joe Biden won -- including the so-called “Blue Wall” states of the industrial North -- are losers.

Texas will gain two seats. Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina and Oregon will also each gain a seat.

Because the size of the House has been capped since 1911, those new seats must come at the expense of seven states: California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia.

And because the Electoral College factors in House representation, those states will lose influence in the 2024 presidential vote.

The results were a surprise, with fewer seats being redistributed than at any time since Congress refused to allow reapportionment following the 1920 census.

Biden will change it by Executive Order.

Why do you think they are pushing so hard to flip via questionable election security? They know electoral votes are moving to red states. They're trying to flood the zone in Georgia and Texas. Florida tightened their election security. You see what they are saying about Georgia's half arsed bandaid fix.

The problem is all the liberals are moving to red states and will vote blue even though they moved to escape the crap they voted for to begin with. They will just muddy the waters and eventual put enough illegals in those states to turn them blue. LLL

Yep!

True but one stop gap is that the state legislatures draw the congressional district map and in Texas and Florida the R party controls the state house.

Yep , it's mind boggling the disconnect in the liberal brain that can't put 2 and 2 together

Given enough time, New York will come up with the votes they need to retain keep all 27 of their seats in the U.S. House. How long before the states that will lose seats decide to challenge the census results???

I bet State of New York will challenge it by Tuesday 8:00 am in the Supreme Court They will not loose a seat. You want to bet ? MD

They knew this would happen that's why the push for dc statehood.
A guy (senator, gov, rep ...?) on hannity radio earlier said he would drastically consider making Texas into upto 5 separate states.

Ya'll act like we still have honest elections, guess ya'll will figure it out in time.

One side wants to spend 2 trillion the other side wants to only spend 900 billion, i don't see that matter's anymore, country is bankrupt and idiot's still seeing who can spend the most on BS nobody wants, needs or ever see's a benefit from. Just keep running the debt up, everything will be ok.

... you catch any nutrias today Jtrap?

no wrapping water mess up, only had 3 traps out, had a beaver by a front foot in a bridger 330. Getting ready to begin the hog season.

... probably what them billionkatrillion dollars are going towards lol

Yes I sure thought more house seats would be shifted than what is being done this census. Now the trench wars will start. Looks like a pretty even split of blue and red states gaining and losing, most of the issue will be how to the remaining seats or additional seats in each state get re-mapped. Pretty big deal when you think about all those states having a total of 175-190 house seats and how they will all get carved up,

Moot point, left will find a way!

They already have tried. I received 3 census forms,one at my residence , and one each at camps I own. My mother received 1 at here residence and one at a storage barn she owns. So we could have filled them all of them out stating there were people living at all of these places. Just like the elections, the census was fraudulent as well.
