You just knew this was going to happen under Joe Biden, but now we have the confirmation that the census was rigged just like the 2020 election was. Red states that should have received more representatives in Congress either got none or maybe even lost one, while blue states that bled people either stayed the same or gained a seat. This was done by intentionally undercounting or overcounting the population of those states.
VISIT OUR YOUTUBE CHANNELThe 2020 Census robbed Red states of electoral seats.
A majority of the overcounted states were blue, while a majority of the undercounted states were red.
According to a @Heritage analysis, the result of these errors shorted red states three seats:https://t.co/QhZcUQUz7b pic.twitter.com/rSVIzMeqUm

In 2022, a report from the U.S. Census Bureau revealed that the 2020 census incorrectly counted the American population in at least 14 states. Hans von Spakovsky, who told The Daily Wire that the errors could benefit Democrats in November.
Spakovsky wrote:
“The result of the Census errors in Florida and Texas, two red states, should have three more electoral seats that they never got. Whereas three blue states, Minnesota, Rhode Island, and Colorado, have three congressional seats – and thus three electoral votes – they should not have. In a razor thin election, this could make the difference in victory.”
Another Heritage scholar, Stephen Moore, who is also an author and founder of the Club For Growth, brought the report back into the light over the weekend, noting:
“A majority of the overcounted states were blue, while a majority of the undercounted states were red.”
Isn’t it funny that everytime an error is made, it benefits Democrats? In New York state the number of the overcount was 695,422. In Florida and Texas, the undercounts were 750,600 and 560,000 residents respectively. Both states should have gained a congressional seat or two.
Minnesota and Rhode Island, whose overcounting resulted in them keeping electoral votes they should have lost, overcounted their populations by 216,971 and 55,457, respectively.
Though Rhode Island overcounted by a smaller amount than the other states (it was still a 5% increase in population, however), it managed to hold onto a congressional seat that it should have lost, the Associated Press reported in 2022.
If Rhode Island had counted 19,000 fewer residents – as it should have – it would have lost one of its two congressional seats.
In his analysis of the Census Bureau report, von Spakovsky noted:
Under the 2020 Census enumeration released on April 26, 2021, the total apportionment population of the United States was reported as 331,108,434. After application of the “method of equal proportion,” five states each gained one new congressional seat: Colorado, Florida, Montana, North Carolina, and Oregon. Texas gained two new seats. Due to population decreases, seven states each lost one congressional seat: California, Illinois, Michigan, New York, Ohio, Pennsylvania, and West Virginia.
These errors can’t be corrected until the 2030 census, which could bring additional, similar errors.
