7. Depends on the relative movement of R/D voters.

If the same number of R voters move into a state as D voters move out, there is no net loss of population.

There will certainly be movement of R voters as well. I know one in my immediate family who is attracted to a crazy R state because he doesn't like progressive policies, and will be moving shortly -- entirely because of this kind of thing.

Of course one anecdote doesn't tell us much about the amount of movement in the general population, but it does show the possibility.
