MONTGOMERY, Ala. (WSFA) - Alabama Attorney General Steve Marshall, along with Rep. Robert Aderholt, R-District 4, and two other Alabama voters have filed a lawsuit against the U.S. Census Bureau, specifically the bureau’s use of differential privacy. According to Marshall’s office, the lawsuit was filed over the Department of Commerce’s decision to “manipulate census data that will affect congressional and state legislative redistricting, and delay delivery of census data the States need to complete redistricting.” The Census Bureau is a part of the Department of Commerce. In the lawsuit, Marshall and Aderholt challenge the commerce department and the Census Bureau for manipulating and delaying mandated census numbers due to the implementation of a controversial new statistical method known as “differential privacy.” Marshall said the method is designed to “inject error into the decennial census data, essentially scrambling the numbers.” As a result, states will not know if the population numbers the Census Bureau provides for any given neighborhood, town or county are accurate. “Every ten years the U.S. Census Bureau is required by law to report the results of the census count to Congress and the States so that $1.5 trillion in federal funding can be fairly allocated and legislative districts can be fairly redrawn,” said Marshall. “The Census Bureau is already late in reporting mandated apportionment data from the 2020 census and has declared it will also violate the statutory deadline for delivering redistricting data to the States.” “I am pleased to join with Attorney General Steve Marshall in fighting this unconstitutional practice by the United States Census Bureau. The Census is only carried out once every ten years and is vital for redistricting, federal allocation of tax dollars and for many other public and private uses.

Actually probably more shenanigans by corrupt Deep Staters in the Census Bureau.
Excellent.
“differential privacy.” : cheating.
Off the top of my head guess, this is because the blue states frightened so many people into fleeing and locking down while the census takers couldn’t or wouldn’t volunteer to go door to door due to lockdowns. So the blue states probably saw a big decline in numbers as a result. I heard Chicago lost at least 100,000 people - Mayor Lightfoot is trying to lure them back with higher taxes and fewer police.
Until then, they will run the data through a Dominion counting device until they get the numbers they want.
I keep hearing we’re (Alabama) going to lose a Congressional seat and electoral vote due to a drop in population.
However, that drop is a guestimate, but not a true accounting of Alabama’s population in 2020.
Hence the lawsuit.
Th Biureau ran a demonstration of the method and it was a failure:
“These two laws appear to be in conflict this decade, and it appears that the bureau has favored the first over the second. A
demonstration data set based on the 2010 census has been provided to the states, and redistricters and demographers have
found it lacking. The variation from the 2010 data release is simply too large to be of use for redistricting purposes. While
the demonstration dataset highlighted many shortcomings, the one of concern for redistricters is the distortion of
population at the block level—the data called for in P.L. 94-171. “

Ping to the state list.
Every EO that the usurper signs and every law that the rats pass should be challenged in court immediately. Sauce for the goose.
The Ala population didn’t necessarily decline...it’s just that if you take into account the 49 other states...it slowed down in growth from 2010 to 2019 (growth for that decade is around 2.6 percent).
The previous decade (2000 to 2010), the Ala growth pattern was around 7.5 percent.
I will note this trend as well...if you look only at Huntsville and the surrounding region, since 2010...the growth pattern has been near 12 percent. At some point in 2022, population growth in town will make it the largest city in Alabama.
Obama wanted the Census Bureau stationed in the White House, under Rahm Emanuel. Then changed his mind. Too obvious a Steal?
The Census Bureau’s new math is complete BS, why do they even need to make estimates.
The Post Office should be doing the damn Census. They have reams of data. Every name and address that they deliver at. Plus the door to door delivery personnel that know all the neighborhoods they walk daily.
The FedGov is so freaking stupid and inefficient, just one facepalm after another.
