    They wouldn’t want that if course.

    However, of they do this, then they would likely make an argument for reallocating electors…

      It would reallocate electors as well as congressional seats. Those are both based on population and are already realloated every 10 years.

        Ah didn’t bother to look it up, thanks for the clarification.

        Though the congressional seats will be a wash, since I’m sure the existing districts already are red.
