Comment on 2020 Census Apportionment Resultsparent

Comments

If you keep in mind that those seats are for the current term only, then it makes it a bit easier. For the purpose of the 2022 election, there is no one in those seats since the election process has not started.

The state legislators of each state will redistrict based on the census numbers (having the same number of seats doesn't mean the district doesn't change). Then the primary / election process starts with candidates declaring their intention to run for one of those seats. It is possible that two sitting Representatives will run for the same seat due to redistricting.

This is where you are going to see the preferences of the majority party and what Representatives they like. A nationally popular Representative might have their district removed and absorbed into two or more adjoining districts. This is often done when the Representative is more trouble to the local party then useful.
