Washington Post: “A day after the government released the first results from the 2020 Census, some states and civic organizations were reeling from unexpected results, and wondered if the differences between projections and actual data might be an indicator of problems with the count.”

“Census counts for the majority of states came within 1 percent of what was projected. But in Arizona and the District, the final count was 3 percent less than projected. On the other end, New York and New Jersey counts came in more than 4 percent higher than what was estimated.”

Washington Examiner: “Some analysts theorize that the Trump administration’s failed attempt to add a citizenship question to the census could have created a chilling effect that resulted in Hispanic and Latino people being under-counted, perhaps accounting for the smaller-than-expected gains for Texas and Florida.”

Said J. Miles Coleman on the possibility of under-counting Hispanics and Latinos harming Republicans: “Those states are controlled by Republicans, so that may be a bit ironic.”
