A partisan battle is raging between mega-populated California and Texas over redrawing their U. S. House of Representatives districts before next year’s elections.
Moreover, President Donald Trump on Aug. 7 posted on Truth Social that he instructed the Commerce Department to conduct “a new and highly accurate CENSUS.”
But many national politicians and media commentators are ignoring the decades-long demographic revolution, which has seen the Republican states, overwhelmingly Southern, relentlessly growing in residents, while most Democratic states have irreversibly stagnated.
Annually on July 1, the Census Bureau tallies national, state, county and city populations, and the results are released six months later.
Between the Last Census Day on April 1, 2020 and July 1, 2024, the population of the 50 states increased by 8.6 million, from 330.8 million to 339.4 million.
Remarkably, the 30 states, whose 307 Electoral Votes (EVs) were won by President Trump last November, accounted for a hefty 7.7 million, or 90%, from 189.1 million to 196.8 million.
In stark contrast, the 18 states, whose 219 EVs were won by former Vice President Kamala Harris, edged-up by a puny 800,000 residents, from 138.4 million to 139.2 million
(Maine and Nebraska are excluded since the candidates split their nine EVs, while Harris took the District of Columbia’s three.)
Incredibly, between April 2020 and July 2024, the population of Texas exploded by 2.1 million, from 29.2 million to 31.3 million.
Florida skyrocketed by 1.8 million residents, from 21.6 million to 23.4 million.
North Carolina jumped by 600,000, from 10.4 million 11.0 million.
Georgia boomed by 500,000 residents, from 10.7 million to 11.2 million.
Arizona leaped by 400,000, from 7.2 million to 7.6 million, and South Carolina’s identical increase was from 5.1 million to 5.5 million.
Conversely, dysfunctional New York dropped by 337,000, from 20,204,000 to 19,867,000.
California declined by 125,000, from 39,556,000 to 39,431,000.
And Illinois, another dystopian Democrat trifecta, decreased by 112,000, from 12,822,000 to 12,710,000.
Furthermore, the largest residential growth between 2020 and 2024, among the 15 other states won by Harris, was Washington’s unimpressive 250,000, from 7,708,000 to 7,958,000.
Despite the indisputable bias favoring Democrats in the 2020 Census, President Trump still captured the popular vote by 2.3 million, 77.3 million to 75.0 million, and the EVs 312 to 226.
A post-enumeration survey by the Census Bureau in May 2022 admitted 14 states were egregiously miscounted, and five of the six undercounts were Southern Republican trifectas.
Florida lost 777,000 residents; Texas, 571,000; Tennessee, 347,000; Arkansas, 161,000; and Mississippi, 127,000.
Six of eight overcounted states were states won by Harris.
New York had 672,000 phantom residents in the seriously flawed 2020 Census; Minnesota, 211,000; Massachusetts, 153,000; Hawaii, 92,000; Rhode Island, 53,000; and Delaware, 51,000.
Undoubtedly, a second Civil War has been waged in the last half-century, but it has been nonviolent, demographic and ideological.
And in the third decade of the 21st century, the Republican states’ dominance has become irrevocable.
The dishonest, desperate and demagogic Democrats are undeviatingly hurtling into the same ashcan of history as segregationist, formerly Democratic presidential candidates South Carolina Gov. Strom Thurmond in 1948 (39 EVs), and Alabama former — and future — Alabama Gov. George Wallace in 1968 (46 EVs).
This writer’s predictions for the presidential elections in 2028 and 2032 are the Republican candidates will win the popular vote by more than Trump’s 2.3 million last year.
And the annihilated Democrats will each get fewer than 200 EVs.
