These census numbers are *very* good for Democrats:

-New York was (-1) instead of (-2)
-Texas was (+2) instead of (+3)
-Florida was (+1) instead of (+2)
-Rhode Island was (=) instead of (-1)
-West Virginia was (-1)
-Colorado was (+1)
-Oregon was (+1)

1. Great!! Do you know IL was set to lose one, they didn't?

[mcar]

3. Don't know about that.

13. The papers in Chicago

all say that Illinois is -1.

2. Oregon Plus One

That's likely good, depending on how they draw the maps. A huge swath of eastern Oregon and all the more rural parts running down Highway 5 are very red. I'm in a little blue island in a red sea and our Congressman is a nut bag. He received an F rating from his own party.

4. I would not call that "good". Not nearly as bad as feared, but still not good.

5. Looks to me like the Dems

lost the House. What's good?

[Scrivener7]

7. Nah. Looks we're net down one. That wouldn't lose us the house. The Senate maybe, but not the

House.

[edhopper]

9. Mid terms

is usually bad for the incumbent. Throw in gerrymandering and we loose the House.

17. I doubt this one seat would have made the difference.

In the know Ds breathing a huge sigh of relief - were bracing for 3 new Texas seats, 2 seat loss in NY, etc.

OHio and W Va losing seats also a break for Ds. Maybe trying to screw Hispanics with fear of citizenship question hurt them in Tex and Fla (only 1+). karma, man. karma

11. You can tell that

From these changes?

[edhopper]

14. I am also looking at

how the GOP will be stealing seats as well.

[Scrivener7]

6. Overall we've lost one. That's not good.

8. Minnesota was () instead of (-1) -- everything I read before today was that

Minnesota was almost certain to lose a seat, so this is great news for us Minnesotans.

[Fiendish Thingy]

15. Wait and see- FL alone could redraw enough seats to cost Dems their majority

Unless we pass HR1 by this fall...

[kcr]

16. Yes, this was good

Much better than the expected outcome.

[Peppertoo]

18. These were not great numbers, but not terrible either.

19. One thing is certain

Re-drawing congressional districts and state legislative districts will be a clustertruck!

With the rational actions post-election, we can not expect Republicans to act in any semblance of good faith. It is no longer part of their character.

As Texas, Georgia, and North Carolina turn purple, then blue, their extra electoral votes may not be an issue.

Look for GOP legislatures to move toward proportional awards for electoral votes if they can gerrymander the congressional districts to meet their corrupt intent.
