If the electoral votes were allocated today, the map would look like below.
I've used this website for the calculation on the basis of the estimates of the July 2017 population.



Donald Trump:307 (+1)
Hillary Clinton:231 (-1)

I don't know though, if Hillary would have won Nebraska's 2nd congressional district under the new borders.
Donald won it by only 2.24%, and with Douglas County growing very fast, the district will need less area of Sarpy County, which plays into the Democrats' hands.

FL and TX were originally on track to both get one more seat before the decade is out, but I wonder if Irma and Harvey have changed this?  I don't think we have census projections that include datav from after the hurricanes yet.

Interesting. There was a time when "red" states were growing faster than "blue" states (had the 2000 election used the 2004 state EV breakdown, Bush would have won 278-260, not 271-267). Now, there appears to be very little difference. In addition, fast-growing states like GA, NC, and TX are becoming less "red" over time.

The Puerto Rican influx from Maria should cancel out whatever migration there was from Florida.

Didn't most of the migration happen within Florida?

Last time I remembered, Texas was going to get 3 electoral votes. I wonder how it got that extra vote was it the faster than average increase in its population or is the northeast/Midwest losing population faster then expected?

Wow. RI barely held onto their seat. They still might lose it though.

... while Montana still wouldn't gain a seat. I hope its population is growing fast enough in the next two years.
