>With more people fleeing the state ,New Jersey is projected to lose one House seat
By the latest estimates from the U.S. Census Bureau New Jersey’s population stagnated and the state is likely to lose one congressional seat for the 2012 election. New Jersey’s estimated population is 8,707,739 only up 3.5%, not enough to keep the state’s thirteenth seat. That would increase the size of each district from 647,258 in 2002 to 725,645 in 2012 and unless someone retires, New Jersey will either see an incumbent vs. incumbent general election, or an incumbent vs. incumbent in a primary.
Congratulations to the folks in Trenton for continuing to drive working families out of the state !
