NOT YOUR STANDARD MID-TERM ELECTION
There are 435 seats in U.S. House of Representatives. Following the constitutionally mandated census every 10 years,
these 435 seats are redistributed across the 50 states. As a result of the 2020 census and the shift of where Americans
are living, seven states (California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia) each lost a
single congressional district, which meant that those seats were redistributed to states with increasing populations:
Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina, and Oregon each gained a seat, while Texas gained two.
