We’ve been seeing stories for a while now about the exodus from New York State to sunnier (and more free) places like Florida. According to a new report from the New York Times, a Census official says New York was just 89 people short of keeping a House seat — and you can’t blame President Trump for scaring people away with a citizenship question, because it wasn’t on there despite his best efforts.
A Census official just said that if NY had counted **89 more people** it would not have lost a congressional seat!

NEW: New York appears to be the closest any state has come — and fallen short — of getting an extra seat since at least 1940.
Next closest: Oregon in 1970 was 231 people short https://t.co/p3WnNhkbkJ pic.twitter.com/i3P4IbrDNH

NY 27 will no longer exist. And nobody is going to miss it.

Nailed it.
Wow so if Cuomo didn't kill so many people in nursing homes they wouldn't have lost a congressional seat! https://t.co/nPuSoVdoPW

The number of Cuomo's sexual harassment victims that fled NY out of fear is probably enough to cover that spread.

NY should have done a marketing campaign like “come to your census” or something

Too bad your governor murdered nursing home residents and cost you that seat. For shame.

Was complaining that they didn’t have enough ventilators. Trump sent them. They didn’t use them. Complained of not enough hospital beds. Trump sent a hospital ship. He never used it out of spite. Killed the elderly instead. Screw Cuomo. They got what they deserve.
