States with more/fewer EV this time

[UK.USfan]

Please could anyone list the States which have an increase/decrease in their EV this time round. I know some have gained and some have lost since the recent census.

Thanks in advance!

Here are the maps:

2004

2000

The blue states went for Bush last election.

Net change is +7 to Bush.

If Bush wins the same states in 2004 as 2000 we would have 278 EVS vs 271 from 2000.

Good point, Vorlon.

Overall, the blue/Bush states now have more EVs.

California gained 1.
Nevada gained 1.
Colorado gained 1.
Arizona gained 2.
Texas gained 2.
Oklahoma lost 1.
Wisconsin lost 1.
Michigan lost 1.
Illinois lost 1.
Indiana lost 1.
Ohio lost 1.
North Carolina gained 1.
Georgia gained 2.
Alabama lost 1.
Pennsylvania lost 2.
Connecticut lost 1.
New York lost 2.

Until the next great realignment, the trend is higher populations in "Republican" states. Who's to say how this might not alter voting trends.

Higher populations don't make Democrats. Cities and idiot schools do.

This has more to do with people moving, not simple birth rate.  People are moving to the south and the rocky mountain states because that's where the jobs are.  The general trends seem to be more moderate (slight gain for Dems), but also more Republican.  I think we'll see less and less Democratic Congressmen coming from these states, but the Republicans that replace them will be more moderate than their predecessors.
