Apportionment changes announced today--growth has slowed and the expected increases in TX and FL fell short. (Cue the Fox News conspiracy theories.)
TX: + 2 seats FL: +1 seat CO: +1 seat MT: +1 seat NC: +1 seat OR: +1 seat
37 states: No chg
CA: -1 seat NY: -1 seat IL: -1 seat MI: -1 seat OH: -1 seat PA: -1 seat WV: -1 seat
New York is down to the fourth largest state by population.
In 1940, New York had 42 Congressional seats, Florida 6. In 2020, New York has 26 Congressional seats, Florida 28.
DC grew from 602,000 to 689,000, largest growth since 1950.
