Census results may cost Ohio two congressional seats
Ohio's 18-seat U.S. House delegation is likely to be reduced to 16, following results of the 2010 census, according to a study by Election Data Services.
Ohio's "minus two is probably pretty well set," said Kimball Brace, EDS president. Brace, a graduate of American University in Washington, D.C., is a nationally recognized expert on redistricting, election administration, and the census.
The U.S. Census Bureau will release its final state-by-state population numbers at the end of 2010.
Ohio lost one seat after the 2000 census and two seats after the 1990 census.
While the Buckeye State is losing representatives in Congress, the Sunshine State is gaining. Florida is likely topic up two House seats in Congress after the reapportionment because of population growth. Election Data Services predicts Florida will go from 25 House seats to 27 seats.
