Whoops

Economic opportunity is driving the migration trends behind America’s political realignment. 
When the Census Bureau announced congressional reapportionment late last month based on the 2020 population count, Texas, which gained two congressional seats, and Florida, which added one additional seat—the tenth consecutive census that the state’s delegation has grown—were two of the biggest winners. Illinois, which has lost ten seats in 70 years; New York, which has seen its congressional delegation shrink by 15 members in the last 50 years; and California, which will lose a congressional seat for the first time, were among the biggest losers.

Texas and Florida rule the House.
