Law - "2010 Census and Redistricting"

The NPR Diane Rehm Show this am, at 10 EST:

Later today the U.S. Census Bureau will release the first official results from the 2010 census. The report will include the nation’s total resident population and congressional apportionment totals for each state. Ten states are forecasted to lose congressional seats. Eight may pick up at least one additional seat. In state capitals across the country, Republicans have considerably more power, and this clout may well come in handy when new congressional district lines are drawn. Political analysts join us to talk about the U.S census data and how the overall political landscape may be shifting. Please join us. Guests:

Amy Walter, political director, ABC News.
Kimball Brace, Election Data Systems
Stuart Rothenberg, editor and publisher of the Rothenberg Political Report

[Updated at 12:30 PM] - The WSJ now has an analysis and maps on today's release.
