- 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.
