1.How will the reapportionment following the 2000 census affect the distribution of seats around the country and the partisan balance of Congress after the 2002 election?
1.In fact, of the 13 states that have gained seats in reapportionment since the 2000 census, all 13 of those states are in either the south or the Midwest.
2.OK, so the expectation and most of the projections going into this reapportionment thought that the electoral map would move in favor of Republicans because of a major expected gains in Republican friendly territories like Texas and Florida.
