On Wednesday, The Daily Signal<\/a> posted an article about an investigation by the House Oversight and Accountability Committee into the last census. Populations in blue states were over-counted and populations in red states were under-counted. Congress wants to know if that was simply an incredible coincidence or something more.<\/p>\n

The article reports:<\/p>\n

The head of the U.S. Census Bureau<\/a> is set to face questions from Congress on Dec. 5 regarding its overcounting of residents of blue states and undercounting of those in red states. Such errors could aid Democrats politically by giving blue states a larger share of Electoral College votes as well as more seats in the U.S. House of Representatives.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Daily Signal first reported<\/a> in September that the House Oversight and Accountability Committee opened an investigation into the potential politicization of the population count and miscounts in 14 states.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The December Oversight hearing<\/a> will review the Census Bureau\u2019s 2020 Post-Enumeration Survey, or PES. The hearing will also look at the bureau\u2019s preparations for the 2030 Census.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

The article notes some of the miscounts:<\/p>\n

The Biden administration\u2019s<\/a> Census Bureau revealed in May 2022<\/a> that it undercounted the Republican-leaning states of Arkansas by 5%, Florida by 3.4%, Mississippi by 4.11%, Tennessee by 4.78%, and Texas by 1.92%. The Census Bureau undercounted one Democratic-leaning state, Illinois, by 1.97%.<\/strong><\/p>\n

The Census Bureau overcounted Biden\u2019s home state of Delaware by 5.45% as well as other Democratic-leaning states: Hawaii by 6.79%, Massachusetts by 2.24%, Minnesota by 3.84%, New York by 3.44%, and Rhode Island by 5%. It also overcounted two Republican-leaning states, Ohio by 1.49% and Utah by 2.59%.<\/strong><\/p>\n

A more accurate census gives us a more representative House of Representatives and a more accurate Electoral College. We need to get this right.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
