BIRMINGHAM — While we are still a week away from the New Year, there appears to be some potential good news for Alabama in 2021.
This week the University of Michigan has projected estimates of the state’s population based on the 2020 United States Census.
Alabama appears on the list of states that may not lose a Congressional seat or member of the Electoral College.
Alabama’s slow growth as compared to other states around the Nation foreshadowed the state was in store to drop a seat from seven to six in Congress, along with millions of federal dollars. Back in the 1950’s, Alabama had nine Congressmen, so the state has not been immune to losing seats in the past.
