Reapportionment winners and losers
Politico.com
Texas stands to be the big winner after next year’s decennial reapportionment, with two political analysis firms projecting that the Lone Star State will gain at least three new congressional seats for the 2012 elections.
The big loser from the analysis is Ohio, which looks likely to lose two House seats in 2012 — the only state with that dubious distinction.
The analysis, from the political firms Polidata and Election Data Services, predicts eight states will gain an additional House seat: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, South Carolina, Texas, Utah and Washington.
The states that would lose House seats are: Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, New Jersey, New York, Ohio (2) and Pennsylvania.
