Are you trying to bury the hamburger debacle?
(CNN)The US Census Bureau announced Monday that the total population of the United States has topped 331 million people. The Census results found that Texas will gain two seats and Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina and Oregon will each gain one seat in Congress.
California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania and West Virginia will all lose congressional seats ahead of the 2022 midterm elections.
Census sweepstakes: Texas to gain 2 House seats while New York and California among the losers
New York narrowly lost a seat in the House, falling just 89 people short of keeping it
why are you such a piece of of a human being ducks?
Congress, not the Cons ution, fixed the number of Reps about 100 years ago, when USA has about 100M
Now at 330M, mostly heavily populated blue states lose seats to less populated red states.
The number of seats should be about 1300 seats, 3 times what it is now, to reflect the 330M, rather than 100M of the 1920s
Just another way America is ed and un able, constipated, sclerotic, and unstoppably heading to all out one-party authoritarianism.
isn't it the blue urban areas in Texas that are gaining population and not the rural red areas though?
Rrrrriiiiigghhhttt.....3 times as many partisan s enriching themselves off of the American taxpayer is exactly what we need..........
Democrats should be happy with these census results. It's not like all those people moving to Texas are moving to the panhandle. Texas picked up 4 seats in 2010 and democrats ended up with 3 of them.
America has been urbanizing for 100+ years, with the population of rural areas collapsing, along with losing services like medical care centers, even ambulance services
80% of USA lives in cities, metro regions, 20% in rural areas.
"The average size of a congressional district based on the 2010 Census apportionment population will be 710,767,
more than triple the average district size of 210,328 based on the 1910 Census apportionment, and
63,815 more than the average size based on Census 2000 (646,952)."

I agree completely. I don't think we need more people in congress. We need congressional districts that aren't gerrymandered to fix the House and we need an end to the filibuster to fix the senate (i'm fine with small red states being overrepresented there if the other two things happen).
Play stupid games (muh russia, terrorists, transexuals in womens sports, defund pigs)
Win stupid prizes
Are you legit re ed? Ducks is well..ducks. What's your excuse?
You know the census isn't an election, right?
Should have asked are you a legal USA person
Only legal USA citizens should determine things
Not Russia,Chinese, Mexicans , Central Americans
Just legal USA citizens
Not how it works. Services apply to everyone, and thus planning and allocation of resources apply evenly to everyone as well.
Also, the US Cons ution mandates to count everyone, not just citizens. This was litigated last year, IIRC.
Not sure why you hate America, ducks.
So right befor the census I should bus in millions to Wyoming from Russia !
So they get 5 more seats
Thanks
I
Do
That !
Including illegals in the count benefits Texas. Not including them in the count doesn't make them magically disappear.
Busing them home
Getting USA legal citizens jobs back to USA legal people
Taking people off of food stamps saving USA taxpayers money
Not really, you can't. They must be residents, which is not the same as citizens.
If you're corrupt and you just want to lie, you don't need to bus in anybody, just lie on the Census form instead.
Excluding illegals from the census count does not make any of these things happen.
PA sued over redistricting map
I'm confused. They're challenging their existing congressional district map, which is about to be thrown out because they need to come up with a new map that has one less district. PA also uses a committee for redistricting, so its not even the legislature who votes on the map. At least that's what the wiki says.
