New Jersey will keep its 12 congressional seats after adding nearly half a million residents in the past decade, according to figures released Monday by the U.S. Census Bureau.
The population growth, amid a national slowdown, seems to puncture the narrative that New Jersey s taxes and high cost of living are driving residents out in droves to states such as Florida and Pennsylvania.
New Jersey s population grew from 8,791,894 in 2010 to 9,288,994 in 2020, according to the Census Bureau, an increase of 5.7%.
Taken every 10 years, the census is used to determine how many of the 435 congressional seats each of the 50 states will receive.

is there going to be some kind of reform this year that s agreeable to both sides? will they do this piecemeal and do something on portability, on pre-existing conditions, to start with. that first chunk, is it going to happen? i really believe that it can happen, and i believe that the president should try again to reach out to the other side. i know what he tried to do in the beginning. mr. boehner, the leader of republicans in the house, he chose the path of saying, nah, our party s not going to support any of this, and it puts the pressure on anybody on the other side, who wants to think of som the republicans had great ideas. i liked some of their ideas. now let s watch how your opponent, your defeated opponent, tried to use it against you. here s steve rothman using that interview we just saw in one of
they turned out to be legitimate voters. here again, were they suspected felons or democrats. there is something afoot when they keep the young and minority from the ballot box. we have the supervisor of elections in leon county florida, and the president of the florida league of women voters. thank you so much for joining us. here is where that thing stands down there. right now, last week the department of justice sent a letter to the florida secretary of state saying the effort to purge ineligible voters might be a violation of the 1965 act. any changes had to be submitted for approval. they basically said drop dead to the attorney general in washington and a responts letter he wrote the department of state respectfully disagrees with the department of justice s position. the actions taking by florida to identify and remove noncitizens from the voter rules ensure the right to vote of citizens is protected and not diluted. so where are you on that, sir? is the county superv
