| Subject: New electoral map comes into focus ahead of 2020 census Mon Jan 06, 2020 12:04 am | |
| Data analysts have a good idea about what the new Electoral College map will look like, and it includes good news for Republicans.
The coming year is going to be about more than choosing a new president; it’s going to be about creating a new Electoral College map. The 2020 Census will lead to a new congressional apportionment that will lead to a new path to the 270 electoral votes for winning the White House, beginning in 2024. But data analysts already have a pretty good idea of what the new map may look like. And one projected map released last week shows some major moves, most of which might favor Republicans, at least in the short term. The map from Election Data Services finds that 10 different states are likely to lose one House seat, and therefore one electoral vote, in the next congressional reapportionment. Looking at the 2016 election results, those losses are evenly spread politically among blue and red states.
