Okay, this is what I've calculated based on this population projection. NOTE, it is NOT 2040, but 2050. I looked for state projections to 2040, but could not find any. The Census Bureau projects the US population in 2050 will be about 439 million. I used the closest number in this report http://www.fairus.org/site/DocServer/pop_projections.pdf?docID=901, which projects 444 million people with a low-trend immigration curve. As you can see there are large population growth in the South West due to immigration.

Keep in mind, this electoral map has assumes a House size of 437, not 435.



I'll say Texas and Virginia are swing states, while the Great Lakes area more Republican (with the exception of Ohio).

Honestly, you think Wyoming, Idaho, Montana and Nebraska don't gain another 2 more electoral votes or so? The Dakotas would benefit a couple more also, Colorado needs at least 2 more added to the ten. New Mexico might get 1 electoral vote.

The only states that lose electoral votes would be CA, NY, MI, IL, OH and some other ones in the northeast.
