Young Republicans challenge 2020 census results as part of wider GOP attack on head count

Young Republican groups challenge census methods they say distort population counts used for congressional apportionment amid ongoing GOP efforts to influence redistricting.

  • On Tuesday, the University of South Florida College Republicans, the Pinellas County Young Republicans and two individuals filed in a Florida federal court requesting a three-judge panel to review 2020 census apportionment.
  • Recent months have seen some GOP elected officials push for a mid-decade census redo, while Jeffrey Wice said Friday the Florida lawsuit aims to retain House control.
  • The complaint specifically targets the Census Bureau's use of differential privacy and imputation, which add errors and fill missing data for group quarters in the 2020 census.
  • Sen. Jim Banks, R-Indiana, has demanded the Commerce Department release original census files, blaming the method used, while Florida’s gain of one House seat raised its total to 28.
  • Federal courts have repeatedly supported the Census Bureau's methods, and Terri Ann Lowenthal said imputation is not sampling and differential privacy didn't affect apportionment; the 2020 census faced unprecedented obstacles with decisions made during Trump's first term.
