Michigan: Redistricting May Change Political Landscape

The congressional map will be especially contentious. Michigan is expected to lose one of its 15 seats in Congress as the state's population has stagnated while there has been growth in the South and West.

Redistricting Will Soon be GOP Secret Weapon

The 2010 census could add multiple House seats to red-leaning states — as many as four districts to Texas and two each to Arizona and Florida. And it could subtract seats from blue-trending states like Michigan, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania.
Most of the states slated to gain seats in reapportionment next cycle feature Republican-controlled state legislatures and governor’s mansions — the powerhouses that decide how to allocate congressional districts.

New Jersey Likely to Lose Congressional Seat After Census

A new report from the Census Bureau indicates that New Jersey is likely to lose a seat in the U.S. House of Representatives in time for the 2012 elections.
