Updated: 3:58 PM CST Nov 4, 2024
The Electoral College map may look a little different this year than the one you’re used to seeing — or at least the map from the last three presidential elections. Every 10 years, congressional districts are reapportioned based on population numbers reported in the U.S. census. Since each state’s number of electoral votes is equivalent to its number of Congress members, states that lost or gained members in the House of Representatives based on the 2020 Census will experience the same change in their Electoral College votes.In total, seven votes got shuffled around, impacting 13 states. This includes three swing states, two of which lost a vote (Michigan and Pennsylvania) and North Carolina, which picked up one. Texas was the big winner, earning two more Electoral College votes.
