With the 2020 census, there is an expected reapportionment. People are moving and must be appropriately represented.

Here's the expectation:
The two states that could gain more than one seat are Texas and Florida. Other seats that are on pace to gain a seat are Arizona, Colorado, Montana, North Carolina and Oregon.

Meanwhile, the 10 states on track to lose a seat include Alabama, California, Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, Ohio, New York, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, and West Virginia.


I think it will be interesting how districts are gerrymandered and how it will impact the 2022 and 2024 elections.

Yep this was the big fight for the Texas house and why the Dems threw so much money at it. To control the district lines. The libs lost. More red seats for TX woohoo!

Gerrymandering in all its forms needs to be eradicated, regardless of party affiliation. Republicans have gerrymandered the hell out of PA and NC and Democrats likewise have done the same in Maryland. It needs to stop. It’s the antithesis of democracy.

@utvolpj @volinbham @n_huffhines and anyone else who is typically a third party voter.

Bumping this thread since my question doesn't fit in any other.

Who are the most likely candidates for 3rd party ticket in 2024?

No clue for 3rd party in 2024. I'm sure Vermin Supreme will continue to seek the L nomination so the potential that every citizen gets a free pony is still alive.

2020 saw virtually no change in state legislative control (I think Rs picked up one) even though a Blue Wave was hoped for. That means any redrawing of lines will still be mostly in the hands of Rs rather than Ds.

If a crazy, midget Texan can draw a following, Amash can. The odds are not in his favor. I choose to see the potential and not the odds.
