Cuomo: 'Looking into legal options' to keep House seat New York lost after 2020 Census report

The 2020 U.S. Census Bureau report showed New York was 89 residents short of keeping all 27 congressional members.

New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo says he is "looking into legal options" after the recently released U.S. Census Bureau report showed the state was just 86 residents short of keeping its 27 congressional members.

"Do I think [the census] was accurate to within 89? No," the Democratic governor said. "And we’re looking at legal options, because when you’re talking about 89, that could be a minor mistake in counting."

New York and California, another Democratic stronghold, each lost a seat following the release Monday of the 2020 Census report.

However, finding 89 uncounted residents will be a difficult task, according to Politico. New York has unsuccessfully challenged previous Census results in the Supreme Court.

"New York has challenged the Census before over undercounting from the 1970s through the 2000s, and each time, the Supreme Court has rebuffed the state’s efforts," said New York Law School senior fellow Jeff Wice. "Massachusetts and Utah have also challenged the apportionments … and they’ve also had their lawsuits rejected."

Cuomo blamed what he thinks was an undercount on former President Trump and said the federal government had a "chilling effect" on undocumented residents who were nervous to come forward last year and be counted.

Other states that lost House seats include Illinois, Michigan and Ohio, while Texas gained two and Florida, Montana and North Carolina were among states to each gain one seat.

These are all lawyers. Lawyers in the state house. Lawyers in the governor’s mansion. Lawyers arguing both sides of the cases. Lawyers adjudicating the cases. Sure there are legal options. They all welcome it. Sue the census bureau for faulty statistical extrapolations, for example.

Don’t laugh they will probably tie it up in the courts and will ultimately get it back. Don’t forget the courts do the work of the Rats.

Hey Cuomo, too bad all those thousands of residents of nursing homes died under your watch. It's called Karma.

If he didn’t kill all of the elderly in the nursing home maybe he’d still have enough population to keep that seat...

I shouldn't laugh because of all the poor elderly people he killed. What the heck!

Somebody tell this ‘Nazi’ he failed his state’s representation by killing off people in his state controlled nursing homes... I am embarrassed for the people of a once great state of New York ... New York is run/controlled/ by snakes ... well like the Serpent described in the book of Genesis.

You are right, of course. I would rate the probability of NYS keeping that seat as very high for the reason you posited.

Actually, New York State probably lost 3 seats, until Dementia Joe came along and counted illegals. NYC is full of them.

89??? These are just the women who escaped before he could abuse them. In fact, that can be a category on the census questionnaire: Sex: Male Female Both Neither.

Have you been abused or sexually harassed by Andrew Cuomo? Yes Will be in the future?

if they count how many Cuomo murdered,
perhaps NY will lose another House seat.

the Census did not know of their execution by virus.

The arrogance of this guy (and his party of course.). But Cuomo could care less about anything. He just always ignores everything and does what he wants. Period. They need to get this guy out of there.

I wonder if they ever do a census recount?

Would they ever search for houses for which nobody responded to the census? But if so, wouldn’t they do that as the census count was happening, and not now, long after the fact?

Would be nice to see those 2 go.

In New York, I’ve heard that some Democrats are privately miffed at Ocasio-Cortez. The redistricting could eliminate her current district, and force her to run against another Democrat in a new district, for her to stay in Congress.

But some say she might go for broke, and challenge Chuck Schumer for his Senate seat in the primary, when Schumer is up for re-election.

So he is demanding a recount? The count was rigged?
