By Tara Bahrampour Tara Bahrampour Reporter focusing on aging, generations and demography Email Bio Follow May 30 at 1:23 PM Just weeks before the Supreme Court is expected to rule on whether the Trump administration can add a citizenship question to the 2020 Census, new evidence emerged Thursday suggesting the question was crafted specifically to give an electoral advantage to white Republicans.
The files show that Hofeller concluded in a 2015 study that adding a citizenship question to the 2020 Census “would clearly be a disadvantage to the Democrats” and “advantageous to Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites” in redistricting, and then pushed the idea with the Trump administration in 2017, according to the letter to Furman.
“We started at the district court because that where the misrepresentations were made,” he said. “We’re evaluating what other options would be appropriate.” “It just shows that there was a long-standing plan to weaponize the census to dilute minority voting power to try to forestall the electoral effects of the demographic changes that this country is undergoing,” he said.
Male republicans
What a hurtful, racist comment. is not a legitimate news org and shouldn’t be protected as such.
WashingtonCompost
They are the worst
O give me a break. Come on WP. you can be better. Do better
Every thing they do is for that purpose! Hello!
Maybe relay some facts and admit that the purpose is to get a better grasp on how many citizens actually exist in this country. That information is beneficial to everyone you race hustling f🖕ck heads
We needed evidence to suggest this...?
Of course it was. Didnt we all know that?
Was there any doubt? Less support for those areas fewer opportunities diminished voter turn out!
Ridiculous. Vote should be mandatory for everyone. In my country, you get a universal ID at 18 & that’s the only thing you need to vote. No registration needed. You’re a citizen, you vote. If you don’t, you pay a small fine. End of.
Duh
They only question for the courts is, are they allowed to ask. We already know the answer to that. Yes they are.
GOP can't win a fair fight. For them, it's all about 'the fix.'
Fake news
Or maybe representation is based on all people living in a certain area including illegals. California who admits to harboring illegal immigrants should not get more representatives and electoral votes than states that try to obey federal laws. It’s really just that simple.
Well.........I’m fucking shocked
Same old bullshit from the liberal media trying to spin anything that’s spinnable.
No shit. Republicans don't do things unless it gets them money and/or power.
“Republican political operatives plainly want to deny communities of color the health care, education and other services they need in order to consolidate GOP power and a whiter electorate,”
every Afro American that support the Civil Rights Movement of the 60’s should be insulted. They are trying to use the rights we fought for to hide their hate. They have presented it to the Supreme Court as a measure to protect the voting rights act.
Nonsense. It's a matter of national security, not race.
What's the evidence to come to this conclusion? It does discriminate. It discriminate against non citizen. If that's your beef, say so. But this is a bridge too far.
What? The trump administration would do such a thing Shocking!!

Trump may sidestep Congress on Saudi arms deal, drawing fresh warnings from Republicans and DemocratsThe president has signaled that he may invoke emergency authority to complete weapons sales that lawmakers have temporarily blocked. Bad juju USA! We must hold this wannabe despot accountable! MbS is a murdering despot. Warnings from the GOP are absolutely meaningless - they murmur to give a faux impression of concern while they engage in a long war against democracy, the rule of law & American values.

Trump administration considering new weapons sales to Saudis despite lawmakers' objectionsIf Trump approves the weapons sale to the Saudis – potentially billions of dollars in U.S.-made arms – it would spark a fierce backlash from lawmakers in both parties. Trump is ensuring the SAUDIS have more weapons that may be used against the USA. REMEMBER 9/11? WHY should we care about that journalist?

Republican calls for impeachment after reading Mueller reportRachel Maddow reports on how actually reading Robert Mueller's Trump-Russia report convinced Republican congressman Justin Amash of the need to impeach Donald Trump, and to speak out about his conclusions despite considerable blowback from Trump and his Republican colleagues. Trump was not exonerated. Rep. Justin Amash is doing his job to uphold the sworn duty of his office. The rest of the Republican Party is derelict. Vote them all out. Amash has business in China....

GOP impeachment champion gets a hero's welcome back homeRep. Justin Amash got a warm welcome in Michigan for breaking away from his fellow Republicans in rebelling against Trump Nice to see a person that will no matter what, stand his ground for what is right over party! Where's the will to charge Bush II for lying us into a 20 year, 7 trillion dollar war based on lies? Destroying the 4th amendment and forcing back doors into all digital devices? Creating an archipelago of black site torture gulags across the planet? He’s the only Repugnant that sleeps well at night.

Don Jr. warns Roy Moore: Stay out of Alabama Senate raceDonald Trump Jr. on Tuesday warned Roy Moore not to run for Senate again in Alabama, calling him the only candidate who could lose the race for Republicans however Pops Trump was campaigning for a pedophile Roy Moore just a few months ago. huh. The quality of the GOP is really quite questionable, don't you think? Contrary to all the GOP spin, Dems are mobilized big time. Thoughts and prayers He. Go home, set down, and be quiet. Not one single person with a half a brain should listen to anything you have to say. Btw Roy Moore isn’t a concern. Let him run. Great seat for Democrats. Seems like good advice for his father also
