Senator Banks Calls for Investigation into 2020 Census Miscounts and Data Integrity
Sent letter requesting investigation into 2020 Census data integrity and apportionment errors.
“As problematic as the 2020 Census was for apportionment, it may have been disastrous for redistricting. Differential privacy alters the total population of individual voting districts, meaning that any voting district drawn since the 2020 census may in fact have been based on false data and may even be unlawful.”
