 Re: US Census - Changes House in 2022
Census was stolen. We want a recount. Stop the steal.

 Re: US Census - Changes House in 2022
However - funny you mentioned "questionable results"....
............
"The apportionment population results released by the Census Bureau are strikingly different from the population evaluation estimates released just months ago on December 22, 2020," the GOP members wrote. "Remarkably, the differences benefit traditionally blue states – which gained population compared to the estimates – over red states which tended to lose population compared to the estimates."
They added: "For example, New York was estimated to have a population of 19,336,776, but was attributed an apportionment population much greater than that of 20,215,751, a difference of nearly 900,000 individuals. Likewise, states such as New Jersey and Illinois experienced large population increases of hundreds of thousands of individuals compared to the December estimates, while states such as Arizona, Florida, and Texas experienced large decreases from the December estimates."
The House Republicans' letter was the first high-profile allegation that the Biden administration may have interfered with the census. There's been no other evidence besides the departure of the final numbers from December estimates to indicate it did.
The letter is also signed by Reps. Jim Jordan, R-Ohio; Jody Hice, R-Ga.; ***** Grothman, R-Wis.; Michael Cloud, R-Texas; Ralph Norman, R-S.C.; Paul Gosar, R-Ariz.; Virginia Foxx, R-N.C.; Bob Gibbs, R-Ohio; Clay Higgins, R-La.; Fred Keller, R-Pa.; Andy Biggs, R-Ariz.; Andrew Clyde, R-Ga.; Scott Franklin, R-Fla.; Jake LaTurner, R-Kan.; Yvette Herrell, R-N.M.; and Byron Donalds, R-Fla.

 Re: US Census - Changes House in 2022
According to some estimates, Texas was set to gain three seats. It gained two instead. New York was projected by one estimate to be on the edge of losing either one or two House seats. It lost one seat but was 89 residents short of not losing any, according to census officials.
According to the Census Bureau, differences between the estimates the Republican members cite and the final census apportionment results are "typically interpreted as error in the estimates and are used to inform research and methodological improvements over the decade." But Comer and the other Republicans on the letter ask Raimondo if the break between estimates and the census results may be the result of something else.
"This trend calls into question whether there was any political interference with the apportionment results released by the Census Bureau," they write.
