Census to be rigged again?

You can tell the Bush holdovers are still in charge.

Following next year's census, several states are expected to gain or lose congressional seats and electoral votes.

States that gain: Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada, Texas, Utah.

States that lose: Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, Ohio, New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania.

See a pattern here? The only major outlier on these lists is Louisiana. Everything else is going almost exactly according to the script.

How do they know which states will be affected, considering the census isn't until next year?

This will be the third census in a row in which this same pattern of disproportionate gains in Republican states is seen. The 1990 and 2000 censuses were also manipulated by Republicans for political purposes. The 2000 census was so inaccurate that I don't even go by it. (I didn't even receive a census form in 2000.)

If this pattern continues in 2010, the states on the losing end need to ignore the results and do their damnedest to try to keep sending their representatives to Washington.
