MI To Lose Seat in U.S. House

Despite statistics that Michigan’s population has started to come back, an online political website says Michigan is likely to lose another seat in the US House after the next census in 2020. The website “RealClearPolitics.com” predicts that Michigan will be one of seven states that will lose a congressional district. The others are Rhode Island, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, West Virginia and Illinois. Losing a seat would mean Michigan would have 13 House seats instead of 14. Comparatively, as recently as 1970, Michigan had 19 US House seats.
