Why did the Biden Census Bureau add 2.5 million more residents to blue state population count?
Washington Examiner ^ | May 03, 2021 | Stephen Moore

Most of the revisions to the original estimates have moved in one direction: population gains were added to blue states, and population losses were subtracted from red states. The December revisions in population estimates under the Biden Census Bureau added some 2.5 million blue state residents and subtracted more than 500,000 red state residents. These population estimates determine how many electoral votes each state receives for presidential elections and the number of congressional seats in each state.

Is this a mere coincidence?

Remember, the House of Representatives is razor-thin today, with the Democrats sporting just a three-seat majority with five seats currently vacant. So a switch in three or four seats in 2022 elections could flip the House and take the gavel away from current Speaker Nancy Pelosi and the Democrats. A population shift of 3 million is the equivalent of four seats moving from R to D.

The original projections for the census reapportionment had New York losing two seats, Rhode Island losing a seat, and Illinois perhaps losing two seats. Instead, New York and Illinois only lose one seat, and Rhode Island loses no seats. Meanwhile, Texas was expected to gain three seats, Florida two seats, and Arizona one seat. Instead, Texas gains only two seats, Florida only one, and Arizona none.

Was the Census Bureau count rigged? Was it manipulated by the Biden team to hand more seats to the Democrats and to get more money (federal spending is often allocated based on population) for the blue states?

The evidence is now only circumstantial, but when errors or revisions are almost all only in one direction, the alarm bells appropriately go off.

Here are some of the strange outcomes in the census revisions just released:

1) New York — We’ve been tracking the annual population/migration changes between states since the last census of 2010. According to census data over the past decade, New York lost about 1.3 million residents on net to other states. (This does not include immigration, births, and deaths.) Still, this is a population loss equivalent to two, maybe three, lost congressional seats. But the final numbers ADDED more than 860,000. That’s roughly twice the population of Buffalo and Rochester — combined. This is the state that has lost by far the largest population over the past decade.

2) Many deep blue states had 2020 census numbers significantly revised upward from their December estimates: Connecticut, Hawaii, Illinois, Massachusetts, New Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and Vermont.

3) Many red states had 2020 census numbers significantly lower than their 2020 estimates: Arizona, Florida, North Carolina, South Carolina, Texas.

4) Going back to the 2010 census, the final headcount in every state was within 0.4% of the original estimate, and 30 of them were within 0.2%. This time around, 19 states were more than 1% off, 7 were more than 2% off, NY was more than 3.8% off, and NJ was more than 4.5% off.

5) Virtually every one of the significant deviations from the estimates favored Democrats. Just five states in the 2020 census were within the same margin (0.41%) that all states were within from the 2010 census.

Maybe the 2010 estimates were abnormally accurate, or perhaps the 2020 estimates were unusually inaccurate. The Census Bureau needs to tell Congress why these revisions under Obama were so much more significant than usual and weighted in one direction: toward the blue Biden states.

“The December revisions in population estimates under the Biden Census Bureau added...”

Biden “administration” didn’t have authority in December.

At the very end of 2020...some cellphone audit took place in the NY City region. Reuters reported the results...3.5-million fewer accounts for the city region (having nothing to do with the rest of the state).

It would beg a lot of questions. Maybe some of these people had two or three cellphones (for private and ultra-private purposes). If it was this number of people...they aren’t paying taxes there anymore, and that fact will be in full display by the end of 2021...with a lot of money missing.

More Red states gained seats and more Blue states lost seats so this article doesn’t make a lot of sense.

OK, suppose the red states were projected to win 10 seats.

Then the Biden administration comes in and revises it so they only win 5.

Does that scenerio mean that there couldn’t possibly be anything wrong, since the red states are still ahead?

The Biden administration is messing with the Data from the 2020 audit since the Census Bureau stays full time now and works on other things.. Some of these people are career bureaucrats that are hold overs from the Obama admin..

The census count for 2020 was based on who lived where on April 1, 2020. That has been census day forever. Alot of movement occurred from large cities after that date, but it’s irrelevant.

Sounds like Nov 3rd/4th

It’s the same method they used for rigging the 2020 “vote” in Wisconsin, Michigan and Pennsylvania.

If the liberals can get away with cheating in a Presidential election (thanks to the weak-ass GOP and weak-ass federal judges), then why can’t they get away with cheating in the census?

“estimates”?

Every person is supposed to be counted.

1 Brian Griffin - his address - citizen
2 ifinnegan - your address - citizen
3 Pedro Fox - his address - Mexicano
4 Maria Fox - her address - unknown
....

Yes.

The Republicans were projected to gain far more seats, then revisions to the numbers resulted in them gaining far fewer.

But they still gained seats.

You said they gained seats, so there couldn’t possibly be anything fishy about those revisions.

That’s broken logic

But the Deep Staters in the Census Bureau DID have authority in December.

The Census Bureau Deep Staters delayed the final disposition of the 2020 numbers by dumping the 2010 data back into the final operation data [Nonresponse Followup (NRFU)].

I know this because I worked as a supervisor in 2010, and I worked as a "mere enumerator" in 2020.

I'm also a former computer programmer/database manager, and I noticed that I was being asked to do "nonresponse followups" on addresses that I KNEW we hadn't contacted in the 2019 canvassing, but were in fact "old data" from 2010 that would have been culled in the 2019 canvassing.

This was a delaying/stalling tactic.

No. I was an enumerator in 2020 in 2 large cities and my experience was different. I was surprisingly impressed at the Bureau's professionalism and insistence on accuracy. It took longer since field work started in mid July instead of the first week in April as is normal.

This was a difficult count because a lot of people moved after April 1, which is Census Day. 53 million households needed to be contacted since they did not initially respond.

There were significant numbers of people who responded to the knock on the door stating they moved from elsewhere in May or June, etc and did not know who lived there on April 1st. Eventually, the leasing offices would assist as to how many people lived in each apt as of April 1st. Many apartments were vacant, too, as others moved to smaller cities to escape the wrath of the virus. Field work was complete on Oct 30. I ran into huge numbers of New Yorkers who had fled their city after April 1. The count would look vastly different if Census day would have been later in the year.
