AP News | News <\/i><\/b>How redistricting in Texas and other states could change the game for US House elections<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Redistricting usually happens after the once-a-decade population count by the U.S. Census Bureau or in response to a court ruling. Now, Texas Republicans want to break that tradition \u2014 and other states could follow suit. President Trump has asked the Texas Legislature to create districts, in time for next year\u2019s midterm elections, that will send five more Republicans to Washington and make it harder for Democrats to regain the majority and blunt his agenda. The state has 38 seats in the House. Republicans now hold 25 and Democrats 12, with one seat vacant after the death of a Democrat.<\/span><\/p>\n

The data nerds are fighting back. After watching data sets be altered or disappear from U.S. government websites in unprecedented ways after President Donald Trump began his second term, an army of outside statisticians, demographers and computer scientists have joined forces to capture, preserve and share data sets, sometimes clandestinely. Their goal is to make sure they are available in the future, believing that democracy suffers when policymakers don\u2019t have reliable data and that national statistics should be above partisan politics.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

The 2030 Census Operational Plan is a high-level document that explains the operational design for the 2030 Census. It is the key way we communicate the 2030 Census design to staff and external stakeholders which outlines the full scope of the 2030 Census Program. Since we are in the early stage of the operational design, some areas described in the plan have more detail than others, this is common for areas already tested in the 2020 Census and earlier. This gradual approach helps us gather more information through testing and research, allowing us to refine and improve 2030 Census operations.\u202f<\/span><\/p>\n

The differential implementation of the 1997 Office of Management and Budget (OMB) standards of collecting multiracial data affects the accuracy and comparability of race-specific cancer rates of incidence and mortality. The proportions of multiracial individuals in the incidence and death data were lower than those in the population data, with the degree varying by age, race, and geography. However, race definitions had minimal impact on rates for Whites, Blacks, and Asians.<\/span><\/p>\n

Suburbs are traditionally a refuge for people who can\u2019t afford to own a home in a big city.

The United States is halfway to the next once-a-decade census, but the Supreme Court is still dealing with lawsuits that grew out of the last one. The justices took up a challenge in March to Louisiana\u2019s congressional map, which was drawn so that, for the first time, two of its six districts have majority Black populations that elected Black Democrats to Congress. Black Louisianans make up about one-third of the state\u2019s population. Just two years ago, the court ruled 5-4 that Alabama discriminated against Black voters by adopting a congressional map with just one majority Black district, in violation of the landmark federal Voting Rights Act.<\/span><\/p>\n

Republicans in Congress are reviving a controversial push to alter a key set of census numbers that are used to determine how presidents and members of the U.S. House of Representatives are elected. Ratified after the Civil War, the 14th Amendment says the “whole number of persons in each state” must be included in what are called apportionment counts, the population numbers based on census results that determine each state’s share of House seats and Electoral College votes for a decade. But GOP lawmakers have now released three bills this year that would use the 2030 census to tally residents without U.S. citizenship, and then subtract some or all of them from the apportionment counts. Republicans on the House Appropriations Committee unveiled the latest bill Monday.<\/span><\/p>\n

There\u2019s more than one way to cook the books. You can doctor or delete data after it\u2019s been collected. Alternatively, you can ensure the numbers are never collected in the first place.

For months, President Donald Trump has waged war on objective, reliable federal statistics. By \u201cstatistics,\u201d I mean the bits of information, large and small, that Americans might take for granted but need to make sense of the world. These figures help families decide where to live, physicians how to treat their patients, and businesses what to sell or whether to hire.

The other, more urgent issue is legislation that\u2019s moving through Congress that would add a citizenship question on the census form, as well as change how congressional representation is determined, suggesting it should be based solely on U.S. citizens rather than the total population. While that may sound reasonable, keep in mind that non-citizens, those here legally and not, use roads, hospitals and schools \u2014 infrastructure that requires federal funding based on the census count. If the congressional legislation passes, New York is projected to lose four congressional seats.<\/span><\/p>\n

America is aging, but Maryland is aging faster. Those are the findings of new Census numbers that show the number of Marylanders age 65 and older grew by 3.35% from 2023 to 2024, while the number of those under age 18 fell by 0.06%. Nationally, the increase of older adults was 3.1% while those under 18 shrank by 0.10%. The state\u2019s population overall rose by more than 45,000 last year, the most since 2015. While the one-year numbers are relatively small, analysts say they continue recent trends: The country\u2019s median age and the population\u2019s share of older adults are both continuously increasing.<\/span><\/p>\n

The New York Times | News <\/i><\/b>Mamdani Identified as Asian and African American on College Application<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Zohran Mamdani, the Democrat running for mayor of New York City, was born in Uganda. He doesn\u2019t consider himself Black but said the application didn\u2019t allow for the complexity of his background. In an interview on Thursday, Mr. Mamdani, 33, said he did not consider himself either Black or African American, but rather \u201can American who was born in Africa.\u201d He said his answers on the college application were an attempt to represent his complex background given the limited choices before him, not to gain an upper hand in the admissions process.<\/span><\/p>\n

American Thinker | Opinion <\/i><\/b>The Census Was Never Intended Just To Be A Body Count, But It Can Be Fixed<\/span><\/a>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Are aliens \u201cpersons\u201d for the purpose of the Census? The left is adamant that they are. The right says they\u2019re not.
