Republicans in Congress, are Reviving a Push to Alter a Key set of Census Numbers, that are used to determine how the President and Members of the U.S. House of Representatives are Elected.
Ratified after the Civil War, the 14th Amendment says the “whole number of persons in each state” must be Included in what are called Apportionment Counts, the Population numbersare based on Census Results, that determine each State’s Share of House Seats and Electoral College Votes for a Decade.
But GOP Lawmakers have now released Three Bills in 2025 that would use the 2030 Census to Tally Residents without U.S. Citizenship, and then Subtract Some or All of them from the Apportionment Counts.
Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee Unveiled the Latest Bill Monday.
Any attempt to Carry-Out the Unprecedented Exclusion of Millions of Non-Citizens from the Apportionment Counts of the 2030 Census, is likely to Undermine the Head Count’s Accuracy and face Legal Challenges, as the First Trump (R) Administration did in its Failed Push for similar Changes for the 2020 Census.
