I'll take the stance this is actually a positive, since rebuilding after a hurricane in florida is a bad idea to begin with. It's just gonna keep happening and keep intensifying in severity. The more people who relocate out the less people there'll be at risk.
Let the conservatives stay as they insist. They claim it's not happening and mock the normal people who have tried to warn them for decades. Fuck them. Maybe mother nature can help cleanse a little bit of conservatism from the planet.
And the less Electoral College votes that shithole has too. Let the Everglades reclaim it all.
I thought part of the problem is that they don't change electoral votes anymore.
That's why city votes is sometimes worth 1/4 of a dead mining town vote.
There aren't new electoral votes because that would require expanding Congress via more House seats or new States. But the existing votes get shifted around after every census.
You're thinking of the # of representatives not growing with the population like it's supposed to. But even then, they ARE reapportioned based on the census. The census also reapportions electoral votes. AND if there's enough population shift there's also the redrawing of district lines.
So basically, yes FL losing / drastically shifting population could impact all sorts of things every 10 years.
Next do California sliding into the Pacific. Team Blue is fucked when that happens.
"Team Blue"? who's talking politics. Nature DGAF about who you voted for. Anyway ...
Geologic time for continental drift is not even close to the same as annual hurricane season and [wait for it] wild fires!!! And guess what, I DO say the same about anyone loving in areas prone to more and more wild fires who continue to rebuild there. But at least wild fires have one small chance of being mitigated through proper fuel management and power-line spark prevention.
Florida's MAGA magnetism is a net positive for the rest of the country. They're effectively gerrymandering themselves by packing into one voting area. Even if they gain EC votes, other areas of the country will be relatively more Blue and as Florida policies Brownback their quality of life, it'll only help the Dems win votes.
