The U.S. census will go forward without the citizenship question
The Supreme Court ruled last week that the Trump Administration could not include a citizenship question on the 2020 census.: The U.S census will be printed without a citizenship question, a major blow to the Trump administration, which had considered delaying the survey as a last-ditch effort after the Supreme Court effectively blocked the controversial question from being included last week.
Census forms began printing Tuesday and will be administered in April 2020, even after President Donald Trump tweeted that he was considering delaying the census to get the citizenship question included. Last week, the Supreme Court effectively blocked the question from being put on the survey. Chief Justice John Roberts wrote in the majority opinion that the Trump administration’s reasoning for including such a question was “contrived.”: Opponents of including the question argued that doing so would have resulted in less accurate data, especially from immigrant communities.
The Trump administration maintained that the only reason it wants to ask respondents if they are citizens or not is to enforce the Voting Rights Act, but the Supreme Court ruled that reasoning was a pretext. At least one Republican redistricting strategist had been communicating with the administration regarding the question, new evidence that came up during the lengthy legal battle surrounding the question. Since population data gleaned from the census determines redistricting lines and how many seats are given to states in the House of Representatives, the Republican strategist wrote that adding a question would benefit Republicans and white voters.
