OPINION:
Once Congress figures out how to pass a budget, fixing the census must come next on the priority list. The 2020 population count was rigged in a way that handed the Democratic Party six congressional seats it doesn’t deserve. That matters when control of the House is three seats away from changing from red to blue.
In a report compiled during President Biden’s administration, the Census Bureau acknowledged that six states were undercounted in 2020 and eight were overcounted. We’re just supposed to believe it was a coincidence that Mr. Biden’s allies were the beneficiaries in almost every instance.
The Heritage Foundation evaluated the impact of these errors and found the biggest winners, in order, were New York, Minnesota, Ohio, Massachusetts, Hawaii, Utah, Delaware and Rhode Island. The big losers were Florida, Texas, Tennessee, Illinois, Arkansas and Mississippi.
