at the congressional representative level, the reapportionment probably won't be as earth shattering as some would have you believe, because as you guys said, trading 2 GOP reps from NY and 1 from IL for 3 new GOP reps in texas isn't a net gain for the GOP, they're just moving the states they're coming from.

but moving 10 reps overall from the north to the south (and the conservative interior west) could have implications in the electoral college for the next presidential election if it's a close one.
