Biden Appoints “LatinX” Director To Head Census Bureau, Release Of 2020 Census Delayed Until August

NPR

In a historic move, President Biden is naming Robert Santos, one of the country’s leading statisticians and the American Statistical Association’s president, as his intended nominee to head the U.S. Census Bureau.

If confirmed by the Senate, Santos, who is Latinx, would be the first permanent director of color for the federal government’s largest statistical agency, which is in charge of major surveys and the once-a-decade head count used for distributing political representation and funding around the United States.

Stymied by delayed census data needed for redistricting, some states are considering postponing their 2022 primaries or turning to other population estimates to start the once-a-decade task of redrawing voting districts used for U.S. House and state legislative elections.

The U.S. Census Bureau was supposed to provide redistricting data to the states by March 31, but after setbacks from the pandemic, it won’t be ready until mid- to late August and might not be available in an easy-to-use format until Sept. 30. That’s later than the legal deadlines to complete redistricting in some states and could mean less time for court challenges, candidate filing and ballot creation.

The delay has sent states scrambling to adapt. Some face the decision to sidestep their constitutional deadlines or draw stopgap maps that might not fully reflect population shifts in the past decade. More

  1. It cost a ton of money to steal the 2020 elections, so lets just give the blue areas significantly higher populations. That way they get more representatives and electoral votes and they don’t have to worry about doing it again for another 10 years as opposed to every election.

  2. LantinX – Crowder’s guys went out and asked a bunch of Latinos/Hispanics what they thought about this term and all but one hated it and many had not heard it before. It really is an insult to their language which heavily relies on pronouns. Typical liberal BS to make them into a group with no gender to be inclusive. Hope they get a lot of pushback.
