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
