Mark Levin Explains How US Census Bureau Errors ‘Cost Republicans Additional Seats’

U.S. Census Bureau in 2020 unfairly tilted the political landscape, costing Republicans critical congressional seats..

The U.S. Census Bureau admitted in 2022 that it significantly miscounted the population in over a quarter of U.S. states during the 2020 census, affecting the allocation of House seats and Electoral College votes.

...

certain states — despite Republican and independent populations outnumbering Democrats — remain heavily controlled by left-wing lawmakers due to gerrymandering and the Census Bureau’s admitted miscalculations.

...

In California, they have 43 Democrat representatives and nine Republicans. In Illinois, they have 14 Democrats and three Republicans,” Levin said. “In Maryland, they have seven Democrats and one Republican. In New York, they have 19 Democrats and seven Republicans. They’ve already gerrymandered their states.”

Levin said states like Florida, which should have gained two seats, and Texas, which was denied one, were unfairly affected, while states like Rhode Island retained seats due to the Census Bureau’s mistakes.

...

People forget in 2020, the Census Bureau confessed that it made a number of errors that cost the Republicans additional seats, up to five seats..Florida was supposed to get two more. Texas was supposed to get another one and so forth. Instead, Rhode Island held onto a seat and so forth, and they admit their error. These dark blue states have already blown out Republicans over and over and over again.”

Levin said the errors created big imbalances...California number is stunning. Forty-three Democrats, nine Republicans. You know, the population in California between the Republicans and the independents far outnumber the Democrats, and yet they control the vast majority of seats

...

The U.S. Census Bureau’s 2020 Post-Enumeration Survey revealed significant undercounts in Republican-leaning states like Florida (-3.48%) and Texas (-1.92%), while blue states such as New York (+3.44%) and Rhode Island (+5.05%) were overcounted. These errors affected congressional representation and federal resource allocation but cannot be used to revise the final census count.

California‘s congressional delegation consists of 57 Democrats and 21 Republicans, while Illinois has 14 Democrats and three Republicans. Maryland’s delegation includes 14 Democrats and one Republican, and New York is represented by 15 Democrats and 11 Republicans.

Thank you very much and God bless you.

It is an error to attribute incompetence where malice is much more likely...

These numbers are off. Perhaps the writer meant something else?

Trump won 2700 Counties. Harris won 500.

House and Senate almost evenly split.

Huh.

Yes, it’s Somebodyorother’s Razor:

When faced with competing explanations for a political error, malice is more likely than incompetence.

Well, Maryland’s US House delegation is 7 DemocRATS and 1 Republican. You can check the other states for their correct numbers.

Very good point!

I am loving the panic of the left over a new census and re-districting.

It is vitally important that we deport all illegal aliens from democrat controlled states before the 2030 census. If necessary, construct massive holding facilities in Texas, Florida and other conservative states to hold the illegal aliens until they can be deported. Suddenly, democrats will no longer want illegals to be counted when apportioning congressional districts.

It is just as important that Republicans hold onto both houses of Congress in 2026 and 2028 and that we elect a conservative President to take over from Trump in 2028, or it will all be for nothing. The worst case scenario would be a democrat sweep in 2028. The dems would throw open the gates and import millions of illegal aliens again. They will even try to include all of the illegals who were deported by Trump as residents of their “homes” in democrat states, regardless of where in the world they may be when the census is taken.

The U.S. Census Bureau is part of the U.S. Department of Commerce and its director is appointed by the president of the United States.

“U.S. Census Bureau counts illegal aliens same as US Citizens..”

Congress can change this practice with a single bill. It chooses not to do so.

Which party is advantaged by counting illegals in the population count used to determine allocation of Congressional seats among the states? Which party controls Congress?

My liberal sister worked for the Census Bureau. She felt everybody should be counted. Nobody tried to stop her.
