Supreme Court will decide whether 2020 Census can ask people if they're U.S. citizens in decision that will impact allocating House seats, Electoral College votes and BILLIONS of federal dollars
- Census, conducted every 10 years, hasn't asked citizenship question since 1950
- Trump admininstration wants to add it back in, claiming the Justice Department wants the data in order to help enforce the Voting Rights Act
- Federal judge slapped them down in January, and now the Supreme Court says it will take the case on an expedited basis so the Census can proceed on time
- Non-citizens who are included in the Census distort the legal count of people who are supposed to determine the relative population of the 50 states
- Those ratios determine how many seats each state gets in the House of Representatives and Electoral College votes in presidential contests
- They also inform spending equations usede to distribute federal tax dollars to the states for everything from education to road repairs

I guess green card holders and legal residents are turkey [BLEEP], then?
If that question appears on my census, I won't answer it...but there are a lot of questions on the census that I don't answer.

Green card holders and legal residents aren't citizens and don't get to vote in federal elections.
