U.S. to Drop Citizenship Question from Census

“The Trump administration said Tuesday that it would be printing forms for the 2020 census without a question asking about citizenship, abandoning its quest to add the query after being blocked last week by the Supreme Court,” the New York Times reports.

“The decision is a victory for critics who said the question was part of an administration effort to skew the census results in favor of Republicans.”

Kevin Drum: “It seems like we don’t get good news very often these days. It’s nice to finally hear some.”
