2020 Census Count Errors & Congressional Apportionment
American Redistricting Project ^ | 6/13/22

On May 19, 2022, the U.S. Census Bureau released the 2020 Census estimated overcount and undercount rates by State derived from the 2020 Post-Enumeration Survey (PES). The PES is used to estimate the accuracy of the population figures reported by the decennial census to improve the Census Bureau’s counting operations for future censuses. According to the report, 14 States are estimated to have had statistically significant net overcounts or undercounts of their state populations in the 2020 Census. States with estimated overcounts include Delaware, Hawaii, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New York, Ohio, Rhode Island, and Utah, while States with estimated undercounts include Arkansas, Florida, Illinois, Mississippi, Tennessee, and Texas. For context, the Census Bureau’s PES report for the 2010 Census found no statistically significant net overcounts or undercounts. The table and map below show each of the statistically significant States and their estimated net overcount or undercount rates.

Bottom line is that TX and FL should both have gotten one additional congressional seat (and one additional electoral vote) had the numbers been counted accurately.

The deep state has got to go.

How is this even allowed? Do the rules only apply to the Republicans? Can the ordinary citizen just ignore rules they don’t like too?

Sorry...I am not seeing the results as anything more than what they are. To claim under and over counting seems to be nothing more that statistical wishing.
Seems like there was another article about this topic not long ago that said the same thing. Not having it readily available, they asserted things like TX didn’t “try” hard enough and hence was “under counted”.

Its an actual count, not an extrapolation.
