"imagine a game of poker where one player not only gets to deal the cards but also keeps one hand tucked behind their back, just in case. Welcome to the 2020 Census, where the dealer wasn't interested in fairness, but in tilting the scales to one side. A mere error in the 2020 Census? Hardly. It was more like a carefully orchestrated scheme, veiled behind the mundane bureaucracy of data collection. The errors were so conveniently aligned with political biases that it defies the realm of mere incompetence. The Census Bureau, under the guise of neutral public service, crafted a masterpiece of distortion. The overcounts happened in the usual suspect states: Hawaii, New York, and Delaware—bastions of the Democratic machine. The undercounts? In places like Texas and Florida—states critical for Republican hopes. The civil service employees running the census, with their overwhelming support for Democratic campaigns (a stunning 90% of those who donated gave to Democrats), showed just where their loyalties lay.
"the 2020 census was not a solitary government effort. the census bureau collaborated with more than 55 non-governmental organizations (ngos) to count citizens and non-citizens alike. almost all of these ngos were left-leaning or aligned with democratic interests. the funders' committee for ivic Participation (FCCP) played a significant role in mobilizing resources and support for the census. The FCCP's Census Subgroup included well-known foundations such as the Ford Foundation, Open Society Foundations, and the Carnegie Corporation of New York—entities often associated with George and Alex Soros and other Democrat-aligned activists. With the Census Bureau's budget for the 2020 Census at approximately $15.6 billion, it becomes evident that a substantial portion of this funding flowed into Soros-affiliated NGOs, essentially channeling taxpayer dollars into the hands of those whose interests were clearly partisan.
"let's talk numbers for a moment. The post-enumeration survey discovered that republican-leaning states were routinely undercounted: tennessee undercounted by 4.78%, florida by 3.48%, and texas by 1.92%. meanwhile, democratic-leaning states like delaware had a 5.45% overcount, new york by 3.44%, and rhode island by 5.05%. one can almost hear the paper-shuffling sighs of bureaucrats as they lamented that these couldn't be fixed until 2030. but don't be fooled by the feigned helplessness of the census bureau's leadership. the excuses rang hollow. we're expected to believe that these discrepancies—errors that conveniently padded democratic influence in federal funding and electoral college representation—are nothing more than a series of innocent blunders?
"this matter isn't just about the past; it's about the structure of political power for the next decade. Apportionment—the allocation of House seats—and redistricting both hinge on the Census, as does the distribution of hundreds of billions of dollars in federal funding. States like New York and Minnesota, who managed to inflate their numbers, stand to rake in more than their share, while places like Florida and Texas get penalized for what is, quite plainly, the Bureau's political loyalty to one side. Census figures show that Florida and Texas were close to gaining a new seat. Had the top overcounted states lost one seat each and undercounted ones gained one each, Democratic-voting states would have lost nine net seats in Congress and the same in the Electoral College. The prospect of nine votes in the Democratic column that would have otherwise been in GOP hands is no small matter—it's a fundamental shift in the balance of political power that could have cost President Trump the 2024 election. And don't let them tell you otherwise. Robert Santos, the Census Bureau Director, will soon be dragged before Congress to testify. Rep. James Comer and his colleagues are on to them—the House Oversight and Accountability Committee is finally asking the questions that Santos and his team would rather avoid. Were these errors—errors that, curiously, all seemed to benefit one political faction—a result of some over-zealousness on behalf of loyal civil servants who saw themselves not as public officials, but as defenders of their party's power? Or perhaps it was an unspoken conspiracy, the kind of nod-and-wink arrangement bureaucrats of a particular bent get themselves into when they think no one's paying attention.
"the effects are staggering. let's not forget that electoral college representation depends directly on population counts. the 2020 census's convenient overcounts have left some states with more representation than they should have and others with less, affecting presidential elections for the next decade. the Biden administration, unsurprisingly, has dismissed calls for adjustment, hiding behind the pretext of constitutional rigidity. but congress must act. if apportionment counts continue to include non-citizens, the United States will face a demographic-political coup from within. the equal representation act, which proposes including only U.S. citizens in the apportionment count, is a step in the right direction. this isn't xenophobia*; it is a matter of fairness—ensuring that those represented in congress are the citizens who live, work, and abide by the laws of this country.
[N.S.: There's nothing wrong with hating foreigners who are busy stealing your country, or your fellow citizens who are aiding and abetting them.}
"to be clear, this isn't the census bureau's first rodeo with errors. but the scale and the direction of the 2020 census errors suggest something far more sinister than bureaucratic bungling. when errors all align in the same direction, benefiting one party over another, Occam's razor tells us we're not looking at mere accident—we're looking at intent. and if not outright collusion, then at least an ideological bias so deeply entrenched that it colors every element of supposedly neutral data collection. it's time to end this masquerade of 'error' and call it what it is: a subversion of the democratic process.
"the census bureau—an agency under the department of commerce—should be a bastion of statistical precision. instead, it has been tainted, twisted into a tool for advancing one side's agenda. that has to change. the Trump administration's incoming secretary of commerce, Howard Lutnick, has his work cut out for him. he must see through the rot in the census bureau and demand immediate, sweeping reforms. this means reshaping the leadership and rooting out the partisan bureaucrats whose allegiance lies with a political faction rather than the American people. it means reforming how census numbers are verified and ensuring that future counts are as accurate as possible—with robust checks against bias. this will require new methodologies, greater transparency, and a serious look at how to prevent such errors from occurring again.
"the time for complacency has passed. the American people—particularly those of us who believe in fair, legal, and accurate processes—deserve better. we expect Howard Lutnick to lead the charge in restoring the census bureau to its original mission: counting, not playing kingmaker. and we expect congress to do its part by passing the equal representation act, safeguarding against the counting of those not eligible to vote in our democracy. President-elect Trump must also hold the line here—the census is about representation, and representation must be earned, not handed out to whoever manages to cross the border.
"the census is more than numbers on a page—it is the foundation of our political process. when that foundation is corrupted, everything built upon it crumbles. tt's time we took back control of the census bureau, refocusing it on truth, accuracy, and fairness. only then can we begin to rectify the decades of skewed political advantage engineered by those who prefer subterfuge over the democratic ideals they claim to champion. Howard Lutnick, you have our attention. the American people—those who still believe in this grand republic—are watching. fix it.

The government can't count--whether intentionally or from incompetence. Their statistics are lies. Other than that,they do a fine job of covering up their corruption.
