If aliens invaded and were made from Bismuth, its likely that the current administration would see an electoral boost unless it was full of compradors or something.

I think that’s complete bullshit. A different population means earlier rounds of apportionment will go different, not just that one round. Which means you can’t calculate the population difference for losing a seat within a single round of apportionment.

By my guessing and checking, MN loses a seat at 864 less population, not 26. As others have pointed out, it would lose that seat to NY, so no electoral difference in that map.

I had a lib in a “far left” Discord server refer to the electoral college as a “lesser known” aspect of US elections and explained it in depth as if no one knew about it. I told him about the Alabama Paradox and he said that’s why we needed to vote for Kamala even harder.

if we make the rules complicated enough, then it’s not our fault when the system grinds children into a paste

This assumes NC and NV don’t go Democrat which I’ll believe when I see it.

Ok I believe it; sowwy
