Why House Oversight Dems Will Make The 2020 Census A Priority

[ffr]

Oversight Democrats are signaling that a priority of their committee will be investigating the Trump administration’s move to add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census.

Adding to the anxiety — and prompting suspicion among Democrats — is that the administration appears to have misled Congress and the public about its reason for adding the question, which is now the subject of numerous lawsuits.

Democrats are also facing a June deadline for when the Census forms will go to the printer and it will no longer be possible to reverse the decision to have the question added.

“If we had five years to figure this out and try to fix it, it might not be a priority right now,” Rep. Gerry Connolly (D-VA), an Oversight Committee member, told TPM. “But we don’t. We know June is looming. We’ve got to do it now.” - TPM
