A federal lawsuit could be decided in early 2026 to require the Census Bureau to only count people rather than use statistical sampling—a move that could determine who controls Congress. 


quote:

The 2020 Census overcounted the population of several Democrat-leaning states and undercounted the population of several Republican-leaning states.

While the agency admitted this was an error, plaintiffs in the case of University of South Florida College Republicans et al. v. Lutnick allege that its method of sampling led to the inaccuracies in the Census—and, ultimately, to the wrong apportionment of seats in Congress.

quote:

“When the federal government manipulates census data, it manipulates political power,” said Gene Hamilton, president of America First Legal, in a public statement. “This case is about stopping illegal methods that undermine equal representation and ensuring the next Census complies with the Constitution.”
quote:

A press release by the plaintiffs called this a “landmark case” and said the matter would be decided in early 2026 in the U.S. District Court for the Middle District of Florida.

It wasn't an error.

It was an error that someone became aware of the scheme.

Yes, you are 100% correct.

It's obvious - the "mistakes" are always in their favor.

I would venture to bet that the underestimates in blue states were in red districts and the overestimates in red states were in blue districts.

This a fascinating topic and genuine concern but considering the title, I really did think it was going to be an article about people running extension cords into their neighbor’s garage without their knowledge.

Why doesn't the Trump administration agree and settle the case?
