When the citizens of the United States are counted every 10 years, those numbers are used for the next decade to determine each state’s federal monetary allowances, and also the number of electors needed in elections to represent the citizens of those states. If any errors occur, those errors will affect these crucial matters for the next 10 years. Our last national census was conducted in 2020. The current 2020 Federally conducted U.S. census is predicted to have an unexpected impact on the upcoming midterms and next elections, due to errors that have been discovered.

HONOLULU (HawaiiNewsNow) -- COVID testing in Hawaii early in the pandemic was extremely lucrative for government contractors, experts say.

The package, called the Inflation Reduction Act, is a dramatically scaled-back version of a prior...
