The trend you might notice when looking at the data is that most of States with significant over counts were blue states like Hawaii (for example, Delaware, Rhode Island, New York and Massachusetts), while most with underestimation was red, southern states like Arkansas (eg Tennessee, Florida, Mississippi and Texas).
What it means: When it comes to post- census award of seats – a process known as allocation – these red states could have a shortage because they weren’t given credit for them full population. blue states, on on the other hand, it may have been given more places because the Census Bureau thought they contained more people what they really were.
