While this data will tell us how many congressional seats each state gets, we still won& #39;t know how the population within states has been redistributed until the census publishes census block-level data in August, when redistricting will begin in earnest https://twitter.com/PoliticsWolf/status/1386731599098650627?s=20">https://twitter.com/PoliticsW...
We& #39;ll update these maps once the 2020 reapportionment numbers are out, but these cartograms based on 2019 pop estimates show the partisan control over 2020s congressional & legislative redistricting. GOP is set to draw 2-3 times as many districts as Dems https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/11/5/1992656/-The-2020-elections-were-a-disaster-for-a-decade-of-redistricting-further-securing-GOP-minority-rule">https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2...
BREAKING: The U.S. Census Bureau has released 2020 reapportionment data showing which states have gained & lost congressional seats following the 2020 census. As shown on this map, six states gained 1 or more districts, while seven states lost a seat https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2021/4/26/2027675/-New-census-data-shows-six-states-gaining-House-seats-and-seven-losing-out-for-the-coming-decade">https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2...
Based on 2020 reapportionment numbers released today, this map shows the partisan control over congressional redistricting by state (we& #39;ll update this in cartogram form soon). The GOP will draw 38%-46% of districts & Dems just 16% https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2020/11/5/1992656/-The-2020-elections-were-a-disaster-for-a-decade-of-redistricting-further-securing-GOP-minority-rule">https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2... https://twitter.com/PoliticsWolf/status/1386765554854232064?s=20">https://twitter.com/PoliticsW...
Had these new 2020 reapportionment numbers been used for the Electoral College last year, Joe Biden& #39;s victory would have been reduced slightly from 306-232 to 303-235, a net shift of three electoral votes to Trump.
A decade ago, reapportionment reduced Obama& #39;s 2008 win by 6 EVs https://twitter.com/PoliticsWolf/status/1386765554854232064">https://twitter.com/PoliticsW...

Compared to population projections, Sun Belt states gained fewer seats than expected, with AZ, FL, & TX each falling 1 seat shy of expectations, benefitting MN, NY, & RI.
