Yep, they are receiving migration inflows from other states. Notably, California and New York both lost a House seat in the recent census because too many people left the state, while Texas gained two seats and Florida gained one.
I just have two thoughts on it. 1) About time all the migrants from other states start moving back away again. I've been wanting that for decades. 2) Proportional representation in the House really needs to be fixed.
It's true, but I'm not sure how we do it.
Here's the thing... Democrats could flip the House and increase their lead in the Senate easily. In fact, they could make their leads in both chambers practically insurmountable. All they'd have to do is have small numbers of Democratic voters in the large states move to states like Wyoming, the Dakotas, Idaho, etc. Have a few million people migrate from California, New York, and Illinois, and those deeply red states would instantly become bright blue.
The problem, however, is obvious: How do you convince someone living in New York to move to North Dakota?
Give me money to buy a house and I’ll go to ND.
Give me a reach around and I’ll go to ND
