The Supreme Court has granted the Trump administration's request to end the Census count as soon as possible, overturning a federal court order requiring the Census Bureau to continue the count until Oct. 31.
The administration asked the Supreme Court to overturn the order granted in that case after it partially lost an appeal to the Ninth Circuit. The administration argued it needed to stop the count as soon as possible to complete data analysis in time to meet the statutory deadline to report census information to the president and Congress by Dec. 31.
An envelope containing a 2020 census letter mailed to a U.S. resident is pictured in Glenside, Penn., March 19, 2020.and phone responses will be closed, paper responses must be postmarked by Oct. 15 and census takers will end follow ups at the close of business Thursday., saying the harm from an inaccurate count is irreparable and the administration has previously said the deadlines would be impossible to meet anyway.
Melissa Arbus Sherry, an attorney with Latham & Watkins who argued the case, said that even though the Supreme Court did not rule in their favor theas a result of their case resulted in millions more Americans being counted.
