I want to make predictions of the amount of electoral votes each state will have based on current growth and estimates. After that we can have a discussion on the states that are currently losing/gaining population and how they can affect the trends of their politics. So, feel free to make your predictions and talk about different states/trends.

Use this tool (https://uselectionatlas.org/TOOLS/evcalc.php) to edit State colors and shades. You have to edit the image code manually for EV numbers though.

Ok, thanks for the tool, but how do you edit the code? I see it here as the map link but how would you edit it?

Wyoming            0.937   0.954   0.017   1   =     458      59


If these projections hold up, New York might not lose a seat for the first time since the 1940 census when they stayed at 45 (47 EC votes).

If these projections hold up, New York might not lose a seat for the first time since the 1940 census when they stayed at 45 (47 EC votes).

Out of Curiosity, how are the house seats calculated (numbers for 2010/2020)? What numbers are used? Or is it only known by the census bureau?

Here are the recent trend averages of the last 4 elections. Trends don't go on forever but can sometimes be enough to close a battleground state.

Did you use data to get your EV numbers or was it a guess?

A mix of both. I compared the growth rates of the past 5 censuses and used them to guesstimate the 2020 and 2030 ones. There's certainly. a lot of subjectivity involved, but I think I'm not too far from what will actually happen.
