Jasmine Crockett’s Remarks on the Census and Congressional Seats Has Jaws Dropping

The House Oversight Committee held a hearing on the problems in the US Census on Thursday. 

Chairman James Comer (R-KY) pointed out how the errors in the 2020 Census — surprise! — tended to benefit the Democrats. 

“The Census Bureau’s Post-Enumeration Survey—which measures Census count accuracy—revealed significant errors in 14 states. These errors predominantly benefited Democratic-leaning states in the allocation of congressional seats and electoral college votes.

“In contrast to the 2020 census, no states were found to have had such errors in the 2010 census.

“In 2020, the Post-Enumeration Survey suggests that there were overcounts in New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Hawaii, Delaware, Minnesota, Utah, and Ohio. And there were undercounts in Texas, Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Illinois.

Six of the eight states benefiting from overcounts tended to favor Democrats in awarding congressional apportionment and electoral college votes.

“Meanwhile, five of the six states that were unfairly penalized by undercounts tended to vote for Republicans. [….]

“Based on the 2020 Post-Enumeration Survey, it is likely that miscounts caused Colorado to gain a seat it would not have gained otherwise, and for Rhode Island and Minnesota to each keep a seat they would have lost. 

Meanwhile, Texas and Florida likely should have each gained a seat.

“It is imperative that we understand what went wrong in the 2020 census and take action to mitigate the risk of those similar errors in the 2030 census.”
