The study, from the firm Election Data Services, projects that Texas will pick up three seats in Congress. Arizona, Florida, Georgia, Nevada and Utah would gain one seat each. Iowa, Louisiana, Massachusetts, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Ohio and Pennsylvania would each lose one. ….

But the firm also conducted its own analysis, using current Census figures to extrapolate 2010 population numbers, and came up with another set of projections based on what state populations are likely to be in 2010.
