Answer:

Two states that gained electoral votes from the 2008 presidential election to the 2012 election:

  • Texas 34 Electoral votes in 2008, 38 EV in 2012
  • Texas pop in 2000: 28.8 million. Texas pop in 2010: 25.1 million.
  • Florida 27 EV in 2008, 29 EV in 2012
  • Florida pop in 2000: 15.9 million. Florida pop in 2010: 18.8 million

Two states that lost electoral votes:

  • New York 31 Electoral votes in 2008, 29 EV in 2012
  • New York pop in 2000: 18,9 million. New York pop in 2010: 19,3 million
  • Michigan 17 EV in 2008, 16 EV in 2012
  • Michigan pop in 2000: 9,9 million. Michigan pop in 2010: 9,8 million.

Explanation:

Texas and Florida gained 4 and 2 electoral votes respectively because their populations grew around 20%.

New York and Michigan both lost 2 and 1 electoral votes respectively. In the case of New York, there was not a loss in population, but very littel increase, and this made New York lose population size as percentage of the total population of the US. In the case of Michigan, the loss of one electoral vote corresponded with a population loss of around 100,000 people.

Answer:

There are a few states that lost or gained electoral votes between 2000 and 2010. Some states lost votes: Michigan went from 17 electoral votes to 16, New York went from 31 to 29, and Ohio went from 20 to 18. Other states gained votes: Texas increased from 34 to 38 votes, Florida increased from 27 to 29, and Oregon increased from 11 to 12. With the exception of Oregon, these numbers indicate that the population is shifting from north to south. This is especially apparent with the huge increase in Texas’s electoral votes.
