For the 2020 census, all states were not counted equally well for population numbers used to allocate political representation and federal funding over the next decade, according to a U.S. Census Bureau report released Thursday.
A follow-up survey the bureau conducted to measure the national tally's accuracy found significant net undercount rates in six states: Arkansas (5.04%), Florida (3.48%), Illinois (1.97%), Mississippi (4.11%), Tennessee (4.78%) and Texas (1.92%).
It also uncovered significant net overcount rates in eight states — Delaware (5.45%), Hawaii (6.79%), Massachusetts (2.24%), Minnesota (3.84%), New York (3.44%), Ohio (1.49%), Rhode Island (5.05%) and Utah (2.59%).
RAW power - it will be interesting to see IF the Rs, come 2023, actually do something about this. Personally, I will not hold my breath
Great catch!
Is either the original or the re-count dependable, or subject to calculations and assumptions about people who didn’t get counted? It’s one thing to rely only on actual results, and another thing entirely to start with actual results and apply some estimates to what the counters think may have happened.
