The current 2020 Federally conducted U.S. census is predicted to have an unexpected impact on the upcoming midterms and next elections, due to errors that have been discovered. The 2020 errors were discovered when the Census Bureau interviewed a large number of households across the country and compared the answers it got to the original census responses in 2020
The 2020 Census made its largest overcount percentage error in President Joe Biden's home state of Delaware, which was overcounted by 5.45%.
- There is no remedy in the federal statutes governing the census and apportionment to correct this problem.
- The scope of this problem was unusually high, and the Census Bureau has not offered any explanation as to how this happened.
Bottom Line
- If a politician from Florida decides to run for president in 2024, his (or her) home state will be short two votes in the Electoral College, and when the new session of the U.S. House of Representatives convenes in January 2023, Florida will be missing two congressional seats to which it is entitled.
The results:
- Minnesota, Rhode Island, and Texas will continue to have more representation in Congress and the Electoral College than they should due to Census Bureau errors
- Arkansas had the largest percentage undercount at 5.04%, which represented over 150,000 residents of the state
- These errors by the Census Bureau also mean that the overcounted states will be receiving a larger share of the over $1.5 trillion in federal funds that are distributed to the states over the next decade based on their states' populations
