template 2012 electoral map with new electoral vote totals?

Josh, what are you basing that on?  I was sure LA would lose at least 1 EV.

I got this from muon2 a while back, but I made one change. I added 1EV to NC to make the total EV 540. I don't like odd numbers.

Isn't the number of electoral votes fixed at 538?

That is, isn't the House of Reps now fixed at 435 members, then add in 100 senators and 3 EV for DC and you get 538, no?

I have no clue, if so, take one away from NC and another state that you wish.

Use this one then.

Larry Sabato's 2010 census projections actually show us gaining one too:

Based on this:

According to Wikipedia, we'll have this:

Latest estimates have LA losing a seat due to the departure from Katrina.  I think SC picks up the final seat.  I haven't seen the latest census estimates and run the algorithm myself, though.  When I get a chance I'll do that.

I like this one better

My projections based on the 2007 population estimates were on this thread.

In summary:
AZ +2
FL +2
GA +1
IL -1
IA -1
LA -1
MA -1
MI -1
MO -1
NV +1
NJ -1
NY -2
OH -2
OR +1
PA -1
TX +4
UT +1

I'll be updating this at the end of the year when the July 2008 numbers are available.

If this is correct there will probably be 10 EV gain for the GOP and possibly a 20 seat gain in the US House.

Will the EV be updated before 2010 mid-term elections?
