The states that will suffer the most as a result of the census failure are, by and large, majority Republican.

The U.S. Census Bureau revealed Thursday that 2020’s national headcount was a bust. Significant overcounts or undercounts in 14 states will not only have profound implications for how Americans are represented in government but will also affect the amount of money their states get from Washington.Owing to the unforeseen pressures of the pandemic, hurricanes in the South and unreliable response rates, the 2020 census was marred by inaccuracies, the bureau’s regularrevealed.
Overcounts helped Hawaii, Delaware, Rhode Island, Minnesota and Massachusetts boost their standing in the reapportionment process. The overestimations range from a little more than 100,000 residents to nearly 1 million people who don’t exist but will enjoy representation in Congress. Minnesota, for example, barely managed to hang on to its eight seats in the House.
By contrast, most of the states that were undercounted are led by Republicans: Texas, Florida, Mississippi, Tennessee and Arkansas were undercounted by two to five points on average. The Natural State is, perhaps, the biggest loser of the 2020 census. The survey estimates that 5 percent of the population was missed, or about 160,000 residents. For comparison, consider that the state’s biggest city, Little Rock, is home to 198,000 people.The errors don’t all cut in one partisan direction.
