New York's state’s delegation will shrink from 27 to 26. It is one of seven states losing a member of congress as a result of the 2020 census data released Monday, April 26. The loss might have been avoided if just seven-dozen more people in the state had been counted. Pennsylvania will have one fewer electoral votes in presidential elections — from 20 to 19. It also will have one fewer seats in the U.S. House of Representatives. The states stand to lose more than political clout. The census also determines the distribution of $1.5 trillion in federal funding each year helping to pay for everything from schools and health care to roads and assistance to non-profits. Businesses also look at census numbers when determining where to move, expand or whether just to stay.
