2020 census

California, Colorado, Florida, North Carolina, Oregon and Texas(x3). Montana and Virginia are possibilities. The losers will be Illinois, Michigan, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island and West Virginia. Alabama is another possibility. While everyone said that the last set of redistricting hurt the Democrats. I feel like 2020 will be a wash as you have Dem leaning states (California, Colorado & Oregon) gaining seats and it will be hard for Texas & Florida to not make minority districts out of their new seats.

Unless Republicans have control of all three parts, Minnespolis and St. Paul with remain separate. My guess would be one of the suburban districts, probably Bachman's, will be the one to go with the rest expanding.

One that that will be interesting to see in the upcoming years is if Arizona and Nevada continue to gain population as fast as they were in the 00's. I know that the recession has caused new home construction to slow and population growth has slowed a bit. With the economy getting better, I wonder if the population growth will pick up again?
