Don't Count on Abbott, Paxton, Cruz on Census Undercount
When it suited his personal politics, Greg Abbott bragged about waking up every day and suing Barrack Obama. Now that Texans face a real threat that could leave hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of Texas residents out of the 2020 Census count costing our state billions of dollars over the next decade, Abbott sits doing nothing.
And, what about our criminally indicted Texas AG Ken Paxton and our forever self-absorbed Senator Ted Cruz? Predictably, Cruz and Paxton picked the wrong side and are cheering for a census process that clearly hurts Texans.
Sadly, it appears that Texans must rely on a lawsuit filed by the California Attorney General and at least 11 other states to win a court ruling forcing the Trump Administration to conduct a fair and accurate census that protects Texas interests.
Inaccurate Census = less money and representation for Texas
An accurate census count is no issue for Abbott, Cruz or anyone else to use for partisan purposes or to pit one Texan against another based on race. Virtually every experienced and credible source, including six former Census Bureau directors and the League of Women Voters, has confirmed that forcing people to declare their citizenship will result in fewer of them filling out census forms, resulting in a large undercount.
