by GEOFF HARRIS | The National News DeskHouse Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer said his committee has received information showing the U.S. Census Bureau miscalculated in 2020, costing Republicans multiple House seats.
The Kentucky Congressman claimed the count was biased against the GOP. House Oversight Chairman Rep. James Comer said his committee has received information showing the U.S. Census Bureau miscalculated in 2020, costing Republicans multiple House seats. The Kentucky Congressman claimed the count was biased against the GOP. The basic count was miscounted grossly to the tune of costing the Republicans anywhere from 4-5 Congressional seats," Comer told Real America's Voice. Comer said California, New York and Rhode Island should have lost more seats than they did and Florida and Texas should have gained more. He claimed the results hurt the GOP's chances in the 2022 midterms. This was a census that really messed up and it erred to the side of Democrats and against Republicans and I hope that mistake isn't made again," said Comer. The census is a constitutionally-mandated count done every ten years of every resident in the United States. The data collected is partly used to reassign the 435 seats in the House of Representatives and draw legislative districts. The states with higher counts, generally get more seats. According to the Census Bureau's follow-up survey, six states were undercounted in 2020, including Florida, Texas and Tennessee. Eight states were overcounted, including New York, Minnesota, Rhode Island and Massachusetts. And now you have congressional seats in Minnesota, Colorado and Rhode Island that should actually be in Texas and Florida," Parker Thayer, an investigative researcher at the Capital Researcher Center told The National News Desk. Thayer said while the pandemic made it a lot harder to count in 2020, he believes the problem looking ahead to the 2030 census, is that the bureau doesn't plan to adjust. Just asking them hey, do you have any plans to improve upon your past failures is a very important question to be asking and hopefully one that will be followed up with some legislative action," Thayer said. Comer's comments also come at a time multiple states are currently in redistricting battles ahead of the 2026 midterms. Including Texas and Florida, who were both undercounted in 2020. Along with New York, Virginia and North Carolina. How the census is going to be done to fix what went wrong is an enormous question. It should be at the front of everyone's minds as they consider questions of gerrymandering and redistricting and all the debates that are surrounding that," Thayer said.As lawmakers look ahead to the 2030 census, there are still lawsuits pending surrounding 2020.
