Again, anyone who thinks the annual estimates aren't politicized, needs to look at the annual estimates, over time, and who's running Census in those years.

Honestly, Democrats should be thrilled at today's results (I know I am).
New York only lost 1 instead of 2. Texas gained 2 instead of 3.
That's one extra Democrat in Congress.
Rhode Island kept its 2nd District. Florida grew by 1 instead of 2.
That's another extra Democrat in Congress.
Minnesota did not lose any seats and Arizona didn't either. Minnesota was supposed to lose 1 and Arizona gain 1.
That's another extra Democrat in Congress.
3 extra Democrats for the rest of the decade versus expectations. Considering this was the Trump Census, they made out like bandits.
