Rhode Island's electoral votes

[golden]

Rhode Island is the least populous state with 4 EV, the difference between RI's and Montana's population figures is only about 50,000 and RI is only one of two states that have continuously been losing inhabitants since 2005.

More likely than not.

[Antonio the Sixth]

Very likely. Its "theoretical seat number" is already lower than 1.5, and it has been saved from losing its second seat only because the seats are apportioned under Huntington-Hill instead of Sainte Lagüe. Basically, if RI's growth is lower than the nation's (as it has been for a certury or so) it will lose a seat.

[True Federalist (진정한 연방 주의자)]

This be almost certain to happen.  What's more interesting is when does Delaware get a second district again.  With current trends it'll just miss out getting a second seat in 2030 and will get one in 2040.

[Atlas Has Shrugged]

The Democratic primary for RI's at-large seat will basically be the general election come 2020

[Padfoot]

It's possible that there will be some pressure on Congress to increase the size of the House since that would be over 1 million people represented by a single representative.

I woud say probably yes. Montana and Delaware will battle it out for a 2nd House Seat. Montana did have  2 House Seats until the 1990 Census though.
