University of South Florida College Republicans and Pinellas County Young Republicans filed a lawsuit challenging the U.S. Census Bureau’s statistical methods used for the 2020 Census. Plaintiffs assert the Bureau improperly estimated populations in group housing and systematically distorted data by adding statistical errors to protect confidentiality. The lawsuit alleges the Bureau’s statistical methods were inaccurate and resulted in the dilution of representative power of lawful citizens. Plaintiffs argue violations of the U.S. Constitution and federal law, and seek to block the same statistical methods from being used in the 2030 Census.

"Counting the exact number" is the definition of enurmeration. Enumeration is the mandatory word in the US Constitution for conduction of the census.
"Estimating" is contrary to the language and intent of the Consitution. Furthermore, "estimating" is not accepted professional procedure. Statistics and estimations must always be done based on reality for them to be useful and beneficial. For a growing immigrant nation once every 10 years is not too much of a burden to do a hard count and not an estimation.
One of the biggest failures of Trump I was the 2020 Census. Trump and his appointees did not properly prepare for the 2020 census. Hopefully they are now properly preparing for 2030.
Some Suggestions. Definition of a 'PERSON'. If a state defines a baby in the womb as a "human life" or "person" then that baby should be counted. If a state says that the cell mass in the womb is not a baby until it is born and receives a government approved birth certificate then in that state that is the definition of a person that should be counted.
Also, the Constitution clearly requires the enumeration/ counting of ALL persons, not just a limited class of persons. Just as other questions in the census ask about age, sex, etc, so a question can ask about citizenship.
But we must have STRICT INTERPRETATION of the CONSTITUTION if we are ever to be taken seriously on any topic. To say the Constitution is a flexible document that changes meaning concedes everything to the left and is the destruction of the American Experiment.
The Census Bureau should probably track people.
It could use federal and state tax and welfare records, I-9 records, state birth and death records, state driving license and ID records, USPS forwarding records, USPS financial and utility bill mailing scans, cellphone company records, Amazon, UPS and FedEx delivery records, incarceration facility records, questionnaires sent to known relatives, etc.
“count every person”
For me:
1 Snakeville Pond Road...
County Water 7/02/2026
Patriotic Bank 6/22/2026
Ultra Mobile 06/20/2026
FPL 6/18/2026
Amazon 6/13/2026
Walmart 5/12/2025
1040 4/26/2026
....
” so a question can ask about citizenship”
The US government knows about my citizenship.
It knows the SSN of the Brian Griffin living at 1 Snakeville Pond Road and it knows where and when I was born.
They can do whatever kind of estimating they think it’s useful, for whatever reason they choose, except for redistricting.
Redistricting needs to be based on the actual count.
“It could use federal and state tax and welfare records, I-9 records”
News flash: These are highly inaccurate. Welfare records are my most recent IT experience. They are very inaccurate..aka FRAUD WASTE ABUSE.
The authors of the Constitution were right. The US needs an accurate COUNT ... ENUMERATON ... of people and not guesses or estimates. Bottom line, all other data on people in the US is based on the accuracy of that COUNT.
“They can do whatever kind of estimating they think is useful”
Wrong. Your tax money is spent, programs and projects are run based on those numbers. The authors of the Constitution were right. Every 10 years we need a hard count.
If not we have estimates based on estimates based on estimate=s and they are nothing more than guesses.
Estimated? I thought the whole purpose of the census was to COUNT the population so that we didn't have to rely on dubious estimates!
