Can Trump Change A Key Census Count? Supreme Court Hears His Claim

That process is likely to take place after Trump’s presidency.

The Census Bureau recently concluded it cannot finish putting together the first set of census numbers by the legal reporting deadline of Dec. 31.

After finding «processing anomalies» in this year’s census results, the bureau’s career staff determined they need to run more quality checks until at least Jan. 26, almost a week after the end of Trump’s term.

That timing would mean the process for reapportioning House seats and Electoral College votes among the states takes place under the watch of President-elect Joe Biden, who has condemned Trump’s memo and said that «in America, everyone counts.»
