How Will the Census Affect Congress?

Club For Growth reports:
According to an unofficial short-term calculation, only Texas, adding four seats, and Arizona, adding two, will gain more than one seat. Florida, Georgia, Nevada, Oregon, South Carolina and Utah will all increase the size of their federal delegations by one district.

Ohio, likely to relinquish two seats, appears to be the only state that will lose more than one. Illinois, Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Minnesota, Missouri, New Jersey, New York and Pennsylvania will all drop one.
