CENSUS MISCOUNTS: HOUSE INVESTIGATION EXPOSES PARTISAN BIAS FAVORING
DEMOCRATS

DEAR JOHN,

A political firestorm is brewing as a key House committee, led by
Oversight and Accountability Chairman James Comer, R-Ky., has launched
a scathing investigation into the Census Bureau’s overcounts and
undercounts that appear to disproportionately benefit Democrats in the
apportionment of congressional seats and Electoral College votes.

THE 2020 CENSUS, MARRED BY SIGNIFICANT COUNTING ERRORS ACCORDING TO A
POST-ENUMERATION SURVEY (PES) CONDUCTED BY THE BUREAU ITSELF, IS NOW
UNDER THE MICROSCOPE. AT STAKE IS NOTHING LESS THAN THE BALANCE OF
POWER IN CONGRESS AND FUTURE PRESIDENTIAL ELECTIONS.

In a bold letter addressed to Census Bureau Director Robert Santos,
Chairman Comer demanded accountability, pointing directly to
communications between the bureau, the Biden-Harris administration,
and the Commerce Department.

COMER IS RAISING ALARMS OVER WHAT HE CALLS A "FAILED" CENSUS THAT HAS
ALTERED THE POLITICAL LANDSCAPE, UNFAIRLY DISADVANTAGING
REPUBLICAN-LEANING STATES WHILE BOOSTING DEMOCRATIC STRONGHOLDS.

COMER’S LETTER HIGHLIGHTS THE STARK CONTRAST BETWEEN THE 2020 CENSUS
AND ITS 2010 PREDECESSOR, WHICH WAS FREE OF SUCH GLARING MISCOUNTS.

THE PES REVEALED STATISTICAL OVERCOUNTS IN KEY DEMOCRATIC STATES, such
as New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Hawaii, Delaware, Minnesota,
and even the battleground state of Ohio.

IN CONTRAST, REPUBLICAN-LEANING STATES SUCH AS TEXAS, FLORIDA,
MISSISSIPPI, ARKANSAS, TENNESSEE, AND ILLINOIS WERE UNDERCOUNTED.
These errors, Comer asserts, have had a direct impact on congressional
apportionment, robbing states of the representation they deserve.

“EVEN RELATIVELY SMALL DIFFERENCES IN POPULATION COUNT CAN AFFECT
CONGRESSIONAL REPRESENTATION, AS A SINGLE CONGRESSIONAL SEAT CANNOT BE
DIVIDED AMONG MULTIPLE STATES,” Comer wrote in his letter to Santos.

COMER MADE IT CLEAR THAT THESE MISCOUNTS ARE THE DECISIVE FACTOR IN
DETERMINING WHETHER A STATE GAINS OR LOSES A SEAT IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES. This, in turn, affects each state’s representation
in the Electoral College.

A CLEAR PARTISAN PATTERN

THE CLEAR PARTISAN PATTERN THEY REVEAL MAKES THESE MISCOUNTS EVEN MORE
TROUBLING. Six of the eight states that were overcounted in the 2020
census have consistently voted for Democratic presidential candidates
over the last three decades. In contrast, five of the six undercounted
states have typically supported Republicans in national elections.
This disparity is more than a mere statistical anomaly—it suggests a
deeply flawed census skewed to favor one political party over another.

AS A RESULT OF THESE ERRORS, DEMOCRATIC-LEANING COLORADO GAINED AN
EXTRA SEAT IT LIKELY DIDN’T DESERVE, WHILE RHODE ISLAND AND
MINNESOTA WERE ALLOWED TO RETAIN SEATS THEY SHOULD HAVE LOST.
MEANWHILE, REPUBLICAN-LEANING STATES LIKE TEXAS AND FLORIDA WERE
DENIED THE ADDITIONAL REPRESENTATION THEY SHOULD HAVE BEEN AWARDED
BASED ON POPULATION GROWTH.  Comer says these inaccuracies have
“likely led to an erroneous apportionment of representatives among
the states,” and the impact extends far beyond the next election
cycle.

INVESTIGATING THE CENSUS BUREAU’S ROLE

Comer’s letter to Director Santos demands transparency from the
Census Bureau, including its communications with the Biden-Harris
administration and the Commerce Department. Comer’s investigation
underscores the potential for serious repercussions, not just for the
2020 census but for the future integrity of the Census Bureau and the
decennial count.

THE CENSUS BUREAU HAS SO FAR REMAINED SILENT.

HOW COULD SUCH CRITICAL MISCOUNTS HAVE OCCURRED IN STATES WITH SUCH
CLEAR PARTISAN LEANINGS? WERE THESE ERRORS PURELY ACCIDENTAL, OR WAS
THERE SOME LEVEL OF POLITICAL INTERFERENCE OR NEGLIGENCE?

UNDERMINING THE FOUNDATIONS OF REPRESENTATION

The apportionment errors exposed by the 2020 census are not just
statistical quirks—they have real consequences for the political
landscape of the United States, favoring Democrats in a way that
appears anything but coincidental.
