There is something very fishy about the new 2020 Census Bureau data determining which states picked up seats and which states lost seats. Most all of the revisions to the original estimates have moved in one direction: Population gains were added to blue states, and population losses were subtracted from red states.

Listen to the latest from Capital Correspondent Karen Dewitt. The Census Bureau says if 89 more  more people had been counted in New York, and other states’ population counts had remained the same, New York  would not have lost the seat.
