And of course NPR isn't interested in information of that nature.
"Before he died, GOP redistricting strategist Thomas Hofeller concluded in an unpublished study that detailed citizenship information could allow for the redrawing of voting districts that would be "advantageous to Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites."
Gosh, you'd think they'd beg for it. :/
The story seems to be written in a cagey manner, so I tried accessing the linked study (see above) to which they refer. Reading sections of it just triggers more questions. There's this first quote, for example:
Well, gee. What a concept! So what ARE they using? I looked further and found this:
I keep reading and see that 3 states allow "prisoners from other states" to be removed from census info! Progress!? Those three states are New York, Maryland and Delaware. This removal of prisoners from census in these states is called "prisoner adjustment" also moves the counts for prisoners who resided in-state prior to incarceration to the district they lived in. Prisoner adjustment is believed to favor Democrats. What a coincidence! :) I just scratched the surface, but exposing the census rules crafted during the Democrat years probably contains more surprises. It's 126 pages though....
