In a shocking report, the U.S. Census Bureau recently admitted that it overcounted the populations of eight states and undercounted the populations of six states in the 2020 census.
All but one of the states overcounted is a blue state, and all but one of the undercounted states is red.
Those costly errors will distort congressional representation and the Electoral College. It means that when the Census Bureau reapportioned the House of Representatives, Florida was cheated out of two additional seats it should have gotten; Texas missed out on another seat; Minnesota and Rhode Island each kept a representative they shouldn’t have; and Colorado was awarded a new member of

1, this intentional miscount IS the remedy. It is the deep state remedy to help keep us from having the political power we have earned through having a better plan for the country with better leaders than the Marxists.
In this case it isn't even about "he who counts the votes''. It is flat out theft of seats, no vote crimes required. Like any good banana republic would do.

"Unfortunately, the federal statutes governing the census and apportionment provide no remedy to correct this problem. And it would be very difficult to devise an acceptable remedy this far after the fact."
Why?
Apportionment Is based upon the numbers when the cnsus was taken.
If you know there were errors,
then you know the correct numbers.
Publish the correct numbers and reapportion appropriately.
Unless, of course, you don't want to...

I believe it's been going on for years. Just one of the schemes democrats have used to roll nitwit republicans both at state and federal level.

FTA: Florida was cheated out of two additional seats it should have gotten; Texas missed out on another seat; Minnesota and Rhode Island each kept a representative they shouldn’t have; and Colorado was awarded a new member of the House it didn’t deserve.
The democrats stole 6 house seats. In response, we hear crickets and the stir of a hoot owl from Kevin and Mitch.

Changing the population of blue and purple States upward is one of the big reasons that Biden and the Democrats have and are flooding those States with so far two million illegal aliens. As those illegal aliens once they commence sojourning in those States, by their simple presence alone, are currently deemed qualified to be counted in those State censuses that are used to cause the redistricting of and moving additional congressional districts to those States based upon their increased populations, making it much more likely for the Democrats to win those new congressional seats, and maintain control of the House of Representatives on into the future.
Then in the longer term because the vast majority of illegal aliens are poor and generally uneducated, and fit within the ethnic and racial categories of Democrats identity politics, the Democrats believe that after those newly arriving illegal aliens along with the almost 20 million or so illegal aliens who have been unlawfully sojourning throughout the USA for different periods of time, are legalized by way of a series of Democrat designed “Path to Citizenship” amnesties, that the Democrats and some RINOS call immigration reform, that today’s illegal aliens will easily be transitioned into future socialist oriented Democrat supporters and voters keeping the Democrats in permanent political power controlling both the Congress and the White House. Currently the wimpy Republicans don’t seem to have a clue!

What do you mean there's no way to correct this error OP? If the exact number of electoral votes is known, and if the errors were found, then it can be corrected. Congress doesn't need to wait ten more years to fix the error, which by that time, additional errors will be made.

They complained when Blacks a long time ago were considered less than one person. Isn't this the same thing? The people in the cheated red states are less than the blue states.

No remedy is mentioned because there isn't one they'll admit to - short of the next census count.

The numbers are buried on page 18, table 3.
This a gross corruption or the Constitution to benefit some states over others.
There is ‘no remedy’ yet as there has not been any challenge yet.
The remedy is for the Census to adjust their numbers to reflect the update and resubmit.
Then the Congress will need to readjust apportionment OR in the event SCOTUS gets involved, do number one, then request as remedy they order reapportionment before 31Dec2023 so the 2024 elections are Constitutionally correct.
Yes, the demokkkrats get advantage from their obama era corrupt agents at the census bureau for 2022, but the already have the advantage of state level corruption in the Presidency until Jan 2024 anyway.

This should go to the U.S. Supreme Court for remedy. This is outrageous! Sick and evil. Plain theft of Congressional seats and federal money to States! Shouldn't Texas or Florida fight this and take it to the Courts?

Where are the lawsuits to correct this reapportionment? There are six states that improperly lost a seat...and they won't demand "justice"? Someone explain that. We're talking about serious Constitutional issues...no joke. Texas? Where's AG Ken Paxton? He sues everyone else at the drop of a hat...and Gov. All-Hat Abbott? Seems someone ought to be furious...at least angry.

#1, the remedy is to vote is such massive numbers it won't matter.
The hope is the GOP will use this partisan issue in the upcoming elections all across the nation.
I think it would resonate with many who believe things should be honest and fair.

Where is the logic?
The over and under numbers were discovered reviewing data from April 1, 2020. Just correct the census numbers. Correct the number of Congressional seats per state. Investigate how the mistakes were made and correct the process for the future.

Turning America into a Soviet Union 2.0 is the goal of the Democrat party. Democrats will use any means to this end.

Is there any branch of Government that isn't corrupt.

Don't forget the Electoral College is based off the number of Representatives you have in Congress, too. So that's several Presidential electors, too.

It is ok to count illegal ballots, and now allow representatives to blue states that should not be allowed. You can't correct errors? Nobody has the least confidence in our "election" system.

You have to admire the fact that the Dems seem to control everything. And they did it while the Repubs just sat there and wrote sternly worded letters.

The Census wast politicized and weaponized.
How do we know? In December of 2019, the vast movement of people from blue states to red states had been underway for many years, and PRELIMINARY numbers were released for each state.
When the 'official' numbers were released a couple of months later, there were DRASTIC shifts in the numbers! Based on the total of the December numbers, some states like Texas were expected to pick up THREE seats in Congress, but ended up with only TWO.
States like California, New York, and Illinois should have seen a much larger number of LOSSES of seats in Congress, but did not. Its plainly obvious that the move outs from those states SHOULD HAVE had a much larger impact than they did, and there were always controversies surrounding the collection of data due to Covid-1984 and whether or not ILLEGAL ALIENS should be counted at all being non-citizens.
Include they affect on members of Congress and how it affected the potential numbers of persons in each state elected as members of Congress, and the make up of the slim 4-member majority now in Congress, and legislation might not have been passed, and the election irregularities of NOT following Election Laws in each state that are already on the books due to Covid-1984, and even the Senate races, particularly in Georgia, created a perfect storm favoring the Demonrat Socislist Marxists as a result.
We can no longer trust the institutions of Government to do their proper jobs in service to the People. If something can be perverted politically, it is. Many of those serving in civil-service government jobs will never see the unemployment line when they deliver substandard work like the rest of us would be.

That is an easy way to pick up a swing of 10 electoral votes.
Where is the jail time for the administrators? Probably eating chop suey at their bosses house.

The Census Bureau hasn't offered an explanation. In the previous ten-year census the error rate was one hundredth of one percent. There is no chance that the errors this time were accidental. Congress needs to investigate and those responsible should go to prison for a long time. There is no way to correct the errors now. The Dems outwit the GOP every time.
