Census 'miscounts' could tip 2024 election to Democrats

The Census Bureau’s recent acknowledgement that 14 states had significant miscounts in the 2020 census could tip the 2024 election in favor of the Democratic Party.

Writing in The Hill, Kristin Tate, a visiting fellow at the Independent Women’s Voice, points out that there was a pattern in the miscounts.

Six of the eight overcounted states voted for Joe Biden while five of the six undercounted states voted for Donald Trump. The errors, for example, resulted in more than 600,000 overcounted residents in New York and a similar amount undercounted in Texas.

While the errors were disclosed in a report issued in May, the 2020 census already has led to significant changes to congressional seats apportioned to states.

“There was significant surprise that population growth winners such as Texas and Florida didn’t gain more seats,” she wrote. “With the possible exception of Illinois not losing a seat, the likely effects of an accurate count would have overwhelmingly aided red states.”

It is possible, Tate said, that with an accurate count, undercounted states could have gained at least one seat in Congress, while overcounted states may have lost at least one each.

She noted that Republicans need to flip only five seats to retake Congress, making each misplaced seat crucial.

“Had states known the true figures within the past year, the redistricting process would have been very different for the miscounted states,” she wrote. “Not only are the number of seats per state affected, but the district lines are, as well.”

And that in turn affects the Electoral College, which is based on the number of representatives and senators.

“The loss or gain of a single seat affects two Electoral College votes — the one gained by one party, and thus lost by the other,” she argued.

The Census Bureau’s “blunder,” she emphasized, cannot be corrected for the midterms this fall or the 2024 election.

“The Supreme Court considered whether revised, more accurate numbers could be used for reapportionment in 1999 and determined that such differences could not be considered in congressional seat counts,” she argued. “The inaccurate 2020 figures will stand.”

The exception would be if the Supreme Court would consider a challenge based on the accurate figure. But no challenge currently exists, and the time to file one is running out.

“The consequences of the Census Bureau’s errors will further erode the public’s trust in our electoral system,” Tate concluded.

“And if we thought 2000 or 2020 were contentious elections, just wait until a candidate realizes that he or she could have won the White House if the national headcount were done correctly.”

EDITOR’S NOTE: Last year, America’s doctors, nurses and paramedics were celebrated as frontline heroes battling a fearsome new pandemic. Today, under Joe Biden, tens of thousands of these same heroes are denounced as rebels, conspiracy theorists, extremists and potential terrorists. Along with massive numbers of police, firemen, Border Patrol agents, Navy SEALs, pilots, air-traffic controllers, and countless other truly essential Americans, they’re all considered so dangerous as to merit termination, their professional and personal lives turned upside down due to their decision not to be injected with the experimental COVID vaccines. Biden’s tyrannical mandate threatens to cripple American society – from law enforcement to airlines to commercial supply chains to hospitals. It’s already happening. But the good news is that huge numbers of “yesterday’s heroes” are now fighting back – bravely and boldly. The whole epic showdown is laid out as never before in the sensational October issue of WND’s monthly Whistleblower magazine, titled “THE GREAT AMERICAN REBELLION: ‘We will not comply!’ COVID-19 power grab ignites bold new era of national defiance.”
