Ohio鈥檚 population growth isn鈥檛 keeping up with some other states. And that could mean a big change after the 2020 census.
Ohio鈥檚 population has been growing, but at a much slower rate than many other states. Kyle Kondik is with the University of Virginia's Center for Politics says if that trajectory continues, it's very possible the state could lose one of its 16 seats in Congress.
鈥淚t鈥檚 probably going to come from the Eastern part of the state because those are the places that have really stagnant growth or are losing population.鈥�
Kondik says central Ohio and the state鈥檚 bigger metro areas are growing so he doesn鈥檛 think they鈥檒l lose representation. And he says the districts could be redrawn so that two members of Congress will have to run against each other.
