Kansas A.G. sues over who can be counted in the Census

Kansas Attorney General Kris Kobach and attorneys general from Louisiana, Ohio, and West Virginia filed a lawsuit against the Biden administration in Louisiana District Court to stop the U.S. Census Bureau from counting illegal aliens for reapportionment purposes in 2030. According to the lawsuit, the U.S. Census Bureau’s existing residence rule unlawfully requires counting illegal aliens and nonimmigrant aliens in the apportionment base used for assigning seats in the U.S. House of Representatives and the Electoral College. Ohio and West Virginia each lost a congressional seat and an electoral vote to states with higher illegal immigrant populations in the 2020 Census, according to the complaint. The suit also warns that Kansas and Louisiana will likely lose congressional seats and electoral votes in the 2030 Census because of the unlawful residence rule.
