The Star Tribune reports:
Minnesota is teetering on the border line between losing one of its eight U.S. House seats and keeping them all, if projections for the 2010 census prove accurate. The outcome could hinge on counting or overlooking as few as 1,800 Minnesotans, state demographer Tom Gillaspy said Monday.
Where are they going?
Fast-growing Sun Belt states such as Texas are expected to pick up as many as four seats after the next census. Arizona is projected to pick up two, and Florida, Georgia and North and South Carolina are expected to gain one each.
Northern and Rust Belt states are projected to lose seats.
New York and Ohio, for instance, could lose two seats each, while Pennsylvania, Michigan, Illinois, Iowa and Minnesota are projected to each lose one apiece.
