In State/District Attrition - How does that affect number of MOC slates in a given year?

If for example a current WP cadet decides to leave, and that cadet is from my state or congressional district, does that mean the MOC who nominated the departed cadet will get an extra slate for the next admissions' cycle? So if 3 cadets from my state dropped out over the last year, does that mean 3 extra MOC slates?

At any one time, a Senator or Representative can have up to 5 appointees charged to them as a nominating source. Don’t forget others from that slate who are fully qualified with a nom may also be offered an appointment, but it will be charged to another nomination authority, not to the Sen or Rep.

Let’s say 3 charged to Senator X left for whatever reason, and they are not 1/c, and of the remaining cadets charged to Sen X, one is in the class of 2022, and one in 2021. With the 1/c graduating in 2021, 4 seats have become open. If Admissions leapt right in and took 4 names off the slate for the Class of 2025, charging them to Sen X, then all 5 seats are filled. What is the impact on the next 3 cycles for that state, as the class of 2025 with 4 appointees moved through its 4 years?

No doubt this kind of thing happens, but I suspect the SA sticks to 1 nominee charged per class, with 1 class having 2.

This.
Having a few years of zero slots would not be good for the district and possibly even more important, since House terms are only 2 years, it is conceivable that if there were three years of zero slots that a House member could serve an entire term without having the opportunity to appoint someone to the academy.
