The surprises

If there was one surprise in the announcement Monday, it was that we didn’t see bigger shifts. We expected as many as 10 seats to migrate from one state to another, but in the end it was just seven.

Some of the biggest news:

Minnesota avoided losing a seat very narrowly — to the point that New York would have taken the seat if it had just 89 more people. (Respond to the census, people!)

Texas gains only two seats, rather than three.

Florida gains only one seat, rather than two.

Rhode Island will not lose one of its two House seats, after all.

Arizona doesn’t gain a seat, after all.
