    Not that many compared to the ones passing laws to reinforce it or even codifying it in their states constitution. 1 of 2 things will happen with the reddest of states.

    1. They lose enough people moving to blue states that they keep taking more from the feds than they pay in and the status quo stays the same.

    2. Enough progressives move to cities like Austin that they turn the state purple if not bright blue.

    What we need is some kind of federal rule on how to draw districts and magically the maggats lose most of their power.

      Except they further cement their states as red states. Each of which has 2 senators who are less likely to flip. The status quo gets worse.
