Census data fallout: How New York Dems could create 'bloodbath' for GOP
Fox News
New York Democrats are poised to strengthen their political power in Washington thanks to new census population data that could give them the ammunition to wipe away Republican congressional seats.
Overall the state of New York gained residents in the last decade, but big population booms in places like Texas and Florida means the Empire State is slated to lose a congressional seat in time for the 2022 midterm elections, bringing its total from 27 to 26 seats in the House of Representatives. With Democrats firmly in control in Albany and having the final say on the new congressional district maps, a leading redistricting expert is predicting New York Democrats will not only target a Republican district for removal, but could redraw congressional lines to lock in a blue tsunami for the next decade.More Related News
