Likely winners & losers in 2011 redistricting...

The past two days, the USA Today has printed two very interesting maps on page one which depict the likely Electoral College gains and losses as a result of the upcoming redistricting process, which I've written previously. The estimates assume 2010 census data, which the 2011 redistricting process will rely on, mirror 2009 population estimates. If the data is relatively the same, the sun-belt will pick up +8 (net) electoral votes, while the rust-belt will lose -8 (net).
