Do you know if your state will lose a Congressional seat or gain a seat in the 2020 census.

In 2015 a heads up from the census at midpoint warned NY that it would probably lose at least 1 seat.

1. I can't wait to see what they do with the NY11.

I can't wait to get rid of Dan Donovan.

3. Gerrymandering has large impact on Presidential Elections. 2024 depends on 2021 depends on 2020/2018

Gerrymandering --> Republicon state majorities --> Voter Suppression laws --> Electoral College swings --> Trump-Putin-Bannon-Jarvanka

The 2020 census is the lead-in to the 2021 redistricting that will have a large impact on voter suppression laws that could have a big impact on the 2024 election, just as it has had in the past.

A swing of only 3 Electoral College votes would have elected President Al Gore in 2000.
A swing of only 18 Electoral College votes would have elected President John Kerry in 2004.
A swing of only 70,000 votes in 3 states would have elected President Hillary Clinton in 2016.
Michigan, 0.23%
Pennsylvania, 0.72%
Wisconsin, 0.76%

Republicons know this.

The Democratic Party needs to win state legislatures each one individually in 2018 and 2020. All Democratic state legislatures need to lock redistricting into permanent independent commissions that work according to rational principles for the most democratic (small d) representation possible.
