GOP Needs to Demand Answers for Big Mistake That Is Likely to Hurt Them in Midterms

We’ve seen the politicization of the FBI and we’ve seen how that can create a two-tier system of justice. We’ve seen how it can even adversely impact the former president of the United States. The latest leak even suggests that the FBI may have conducted the raid to grab Russia probe documents.

But that’s not the only place where there may be issues. There’s another arena that’s going to have a big bad impact on Republicans in elections. It hasn’t been getting a lot of attention — but it has to, if we’re going to rectify the problem.

In a shocking report, the U.S. Census Bureau recently admitted that it overcounted the populations of eight states and undercounted the populations of six states in the 2020 census.

All but one of the states overcounted is a blue state, and all but one of the undercounted states is red.

Those costly errors will distort congressional representation and the Electoral College. It means that when the Census Bureau reapportioned the House of Representatives, Florida was cheated out of two additional seats it should have gotten; Texas missed out on another seat; Minnesota and Rhode Island each kept a representative they shouldn’t have; and Colorado was awarded a new member of the House it didn’t deserve.

So you mean it shorted the red states out of representatives (not to mention federal funds) in a very significant way that would adversely impact the elections? Gee, how did that happen? Especially when they didn’t happen in the prior census? Three guesses whose state had the biggest overcount?

Why am I not in the least bit surprised?

When the Census bureau did not conclude its work in 2020, politicization was all but guaranteed.  But as Sam Harris concluded, the ends justify the means.

I think a lot of people don't realize how illegal immigration affects representation. Illegals are not supposed to vote, although it's believed a large number do, but they are counted for the purpose of determining congressional districts. So if a congressional district is supposed to be 800,000 people and 400,000 of the people there are illegal immigrants the district still is designated 1 congressman and that congressman's vote is the same as the congressman's vote from a district with 800,000 American citizens in it.

IOW, American citizens are being under represented in their own govt. because of illegal immigration.

In Kalifornia illegals definitely vote. They are registered to vote when they get a driver license.

Seems like any time they take a 'break' in the middle of the job, the count gets screwy.

cato dug a potatoe out of the ground with:
"When the Census bureau did not conclude its work in 2020, politicization was all but guaranteed."

Comrades, have you not considered that the Census Bureau is also under the influence of The Party?

Control "the numbers", and you control all...

[Free Vulcan]

We have no Congressional leadership, so this just goes down the memory hole.

and because of the voter fraud that got denied even as cameras caught a great deal of the fraud as it was perpetrated.  Said political stooges use the lies and fraud, caught, yet denied AS GROUNDS TO FURTHER DENY REPUBLICANS THEIR RIGHTS and legal powers they are entitled.  Democrats worst fanatics still deny, deny, deny for they so love the lies and denys.  As they so serve their father of lies.

They don't even believe he exists.

One day all knees will bow and that is a day late for them.
