This story fell through the cracks a couple of weeks ago, but the Bush
Administration will release the adjusted census numbers.

See: http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/articles/A28321-2002Nov22.html

Oregon may do another state legislative redistricting as a consequence.
David Lublin floated the idea to me that perhaps Texas will do another
congressional redistricting now that the Republicans have unified control of
the state government.  I guess for that matter, Democrats could do the same
in Illinois.  I can already imagine the politics - Republicans seek to undo
the incumbency protection plan adopted by the Federal court for Texas, and
in payback Democrats collapse Speaker Hastert's district.  Both states'
constitutions preclude a state legislative redistricting until the next
census.
