Census Gives Error Gives Democrats Major Edge in 2024 Elections

2 min read

The federal agency’s report indicates that over counts occurred in Democratic-dominated states while population under counts affected Republican-dominated states.

The Census Bureau conducts the census every 10 years. At the conclusion of each census, the results are used to calculate the number of House memberships to which each state is entitled.

The 435 House seats are divided among the 50 states based on population.

With the 2022 elections roughly 50 days away and the Supreme Court about to take up major election cases, conservatives are crying foul and demanding answers.

The Census Clause of the Constitution requires a census to count the United States population every 10 years.

Those totals determine how many seats in Congress each state has, what the lines of every federal and state legislative district is in each of those states, and how many votes each state has in the Electoral College to elect the president every four years.

An official survey shows that census workers under counted people in Arkansas, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas.

The same survey shows workers over counted people in Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Utah.

Every single under counted state is a reliable Republican state in presidential elections, including Florida, which is the home state of Donald Trump and Ron DeSantis.

By contrast, all of the over counted states except two – Ohio and Utah – have reliably voted for Democrats in recent elections.

As a result, Florida will lack two U.S. House seats it should have gained and Texas is deprived of one House seat, numbers that also impact how many votes those two states have in the Electoral College.

“If a politician from Florida decides to run for president in 2024, his (or her) home state will be short two votes in the Electoral College,” wrote Hans von Spakovsky of the Heritage Foundation and the American Constitutional Rights Union, “and when the new session of the U.S. House of Representatives convenes in January 2023, Florida will be missing two congressional seats to which it is entitled.”

Von Spakovsky also noted that the 5.05 percent over count in Rhode Island allowed that state to keep a congressional seat to which the Constitution does not entitle it, and the same can be said of Minnesota, which was over counted by 3.84 percent.

In contrast to these 2020 failures, the 2010 census had an error rate of only 0.01 percent. No one has explained these explosions in the failure rate for 2020, or why they benefit the Democrat Party.

EDITORS COMMENTARY:

With so many of the nations Federal Agencies infected with Politics and engaging in Political mischief, does anyone really believe this happened by accident?
