Midwest also has a state that is losing population. Not one bit absurd. Just because one area is gaining more poupation doesn't mean that population isn't under more stress/
The Midwest has more people, and therefore more house seats, than the northeast, that's why it lost an additional seat, it had more to lose. The truth is that both the northeast and midwest are losing big time to the other two regions. However, in terms of population growth, both percentage and raw numbers, the Midwest is growing faster than the northeast. Those are the facts, regardless of whether you choose to accept them or not.
