A senior adviser to the U.S. Census Bureau recalls sounding the alarm about the agency’s population count in 2020.
“Me and a couple of other people at the Census Bureau were pounding the table saying there are going to be problems,” Adam Korzeniewski told The Daily Signal.
“The sad thing is that no one cared,” Korzeniewski said.
Two years later, the Census Bureau has admitted to undercounting six relatively conservative states and overcounting eight liberal states.
Critics contend that this inaccurate count now favors blue states over red states in determining Electoral College votes and seats in the House of Representatives for the next decade.
Red regions of the United States traditionally complete census forms at a higher rate than do blue regions, Korzeniewski said. So Census Bureau career staff generally use certain procedures to estimate the population in undercounted regions, he explained.
Because of the COVID-19 lockdowns, far less in-person enumeration occurred in 2020 than in past years. This caused staff to rely more on estimates to “correct the census into what they think it should be,” Korzeniewski said.
The Census Bureau’s Post-Enumeration Survey shows how the 2020 census counted the total population by creating an independent estimate of the number living in the U.S. since April 2020.
The 2020 census undercounted the population of Arkansas by 5.04%; Tennessee by 4.78%; Mississippi by 4.11%; Florida by 3.48%; Illinois by 1.97%; and Texas by 1.92%, according to the Post-Enumeration Survey.
These six states now could have smaller delegations to the House of Representatives and fewer Electoral College votes than their respective populations should provide.

There are two universal truths:
1) when the government is doing the counting, all “errors” will favor the Democrats;
2). All scanning errors at the grocery market will favor the store
I worked on the 2020 Census. I found many,many households refusing to cooperate with me and many of them said they were afraid of the virus.Others,I believe,were also afraid although they didn’t specifically says so. I found that the refusals were usually older folks.
Ever suspect dishonest people of making honest mistakes.
Merrick Garland will get right on it, after Mitch McConnell and Chuck Grassley insist.
Answer the Census, folks. Don’t be paranoid. We need the numbers.
Never suspect .... darn typos,
When they ask for more than the number of people living in the home, I toss it out.
They want WAY too much info. And if all you do is say “3 people live here”, they toss your form out.
Cheating by Dems again? Evidence of no morals, no integrity, no shame? Followers of satan.
Shocked.
When Garland sniffs a crime like this he's like an enraged bulldog who won't let the case go.
