REVEALED: Court filings show a top GOP consultant known for drawing maps that gerrymandered districts to protect Republican control played a role in getting a citizenship question on the 2020 census
A top GOP consultant known for drawing maps that gerrymandered districts to protect Republican control played a role in getting a citizenship question on the 2020 census, according to a new court filing.
Hofeller helped write the request in 2017, the filing says, two years after he did an analysis showing that redistricting using only the population of citizens in a district ― not the total population ― would be advantageous to Republicans. Hofeller’s analysis, which the groups included in their filing, argues that getting a citizenship question on the census is a necessary precursor to redistricting that way.
An inaccurate census would have severe consequences: In addition to being used to draw electoral districts, nearly $880 billion in federal funds annually are allocated based on census data, and businesses rely on it to make key decisions.
