To undermine states with the largest immingrant, POC, and poor populations, etc to reduce the number of seats in Congress. More likely seats held by Democrats in order to redraw Congressional Districts. With Trump as POTUS, the scales could be tipped towards Republicans by purposely undercounting people living in this country.
Watch this space. Scary stuff.
