They can pick up five with no problem. California could have picked up 9 seats but went for 5. This is a mistake. Pick up as many seats as you can.

New York needs to get moving also. New York could easily add 7. [/quote]

Between people leaving and deportation, NY and CA will both be lucky to only LOSE 5-7 seats each. Both states are seeing net out-migration in the hundreds of thousands annually, and this was before immigration enforcement began. [/quote]

Depending on how things go, we might see a reverse in these trends.

Look, I hold 2 degrees in politics/policy. I am not a fan of gerrymandering in general, and would love if nonpartisan districts existed in all states. That is the ideal.

None of the rules apply anymore, though. We are absolutely fighting for the survival of our country right now. As many blue states as possible need to do this to keep Rs from fixing maps to create permanent majority.

People in the country are sadly not taking this threat seriously. Just a day ago, this regime made it clear that they plan to send in the national guard to intimidate blue state voters. And I honestly am not even sure we will be allowed to vote next year-an emergency declaration and martial law is not out of the realm of possibility.

These crazy fascists plan to stay in power. We need to fight with absolutely everything we have. This is just one small part of the battle.

I 100% support this move. So happy our state legislators thought outside the box to work the system in our favor. This feels like we’re fighting back and it is a ray of hope.[/quote]
