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.

There are many reasons for this, such as it is cheaper to buy a used car that has already depreciated in value rather than buying a car brand new. Once you by a brand new car and drive it off the lot, the value of it decreases exponentially so in turn you lose more money than if you were to buy a used car. Think of it like this, a person in 2010 buys a brand new car for $30,000, fast forward it is now 2018 and someone else is buying that same car that is now used for maybe $10,000. The person who originally bought the car lost out on $20,000 because as time goes on, the brand new car's value has depreciated over the years to be very cheap. I hope this helps :)
Answer: Since 9/11 the US has been active in wars but is only technically called “in conflict”. 9/11 was only the second act of war on american soil within the century following pearl harbor in 1941. This was also one of the first acts of terrorism using our own property, the planes. The adults that saw this in person or on the news no longer felt safe as we hadn’t had any breaches of security on our own soil and this was an act to instill fear and to start a war. Security at airports have been extremely raised since then and more background checks on visitors from other countrues
