The Census Bureau has revised its methodology to more accurately estimate the number of international migrants,resulting in \u200ba reported increase of 57,000\u200d migrants this year. The gathered data suggests that Michigan \u2064will retain all 13 of its Electoral College votes in the upcoming 2030 reapportionment, as the state continues \u200bto experience demographic changes driven by its international migrant population.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<p><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><?xml encoding=\"utf-8\" ?><\/p>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-header-search-button-mob dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><span class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-button\"><i class=\"tdb-mobile-menu-icon td-icon-mobile\"><\/i><\/span><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search\" aria-labelledby=\"td-header-search-button\">\n<div class=\"tdb-drop-down-search-inner\">\n<form method=\"get\" class=\"tdb-search-form\" action=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/\"><\/form>\n<div class=\"tdb-aj-search\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/#\" role=\"button\" aria-label=\"Search\" class=\"tdb-head-search-btn dropdown-toggle\" data-toggle=\"dropdown\"><i class=\"tdb-search-icon td-icon-search\"><\/i><\/a><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<h1 class=\"tdb-title-text\">International migrants drive <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/report-so-many-people-are-fleeing-california-they-may-lose-a-house-seat-and-electoral-college-vote\/\" title=\"REPORT: So Many People Are Fleeing California They May Lose A House Seat And Electoral College Vote\">population growth<\/a> in Michigan: Census<\/h1>\n<div><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-title-line\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\"><\/div>\n<div class=\"tdb-block-inner td-fix-index\">\n<div id=\"Brid_1921128\" class=\"tpd-featured-video bridtv\"><\/div>\n<p>(The Center Square)&nbsp;&ndash; Data from the U.S. Census Bureau for 2024 found while Michigan had a gain in population over the past year, it was driven by international migration.<\/p>\n<div class=\"article-paywall\">\n<p>Vintage 2024 numbers, which were released recently, also signal Michigan likely won&rsquo;t lose any Electoral College votes in a 2030 reapportionment, instead keeping all 13 of its current votes.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past few years, the Census data has not looked good for Michigan, looking bleakest in 2021 when the state had a net loss of 31,000.<\/p>\n<p>Since then though, the Bureau improved its methodology to better estimate the number of international migrants in the state.
