Trivia Tidbit of the Day: Part 739 -- 2010 Census.

A Drop In The Bucket-

Generally, Republican states will gain Electoral Votes and additional Congressional seats after the 2010 Census:

The eight states the Census will help:

1. Texas
2. Arizona
3. Florida
4. Nevada
5. Oregon
6. Utah
7. Georgia and
8. South Carolina

Texas: Analysts predict that Texas could gain up to four Congressional seats, the most of any of the handful of other states expected to grow.

Meanwhile, some states will lose Congressional seats and Electoral Votes.

The 11 states the Census will hurt:

1. Louisiana
2. Minnesota
3. Iowa
4. Missouri
5. Illinois
6. Michigan
7. Ohio
8. New York
9. Pennsylvania
10. Massachusetts, and
11. New Jersey

This Census may be eye-opening in terms of societal changes, as well, including the change of the American family:

More roommate situations (think Friends). Fewer married families with kids. More bachelors and bachelorettes. I would guess the 2010 Census will show some pretty major continuations of these changes.
