Missouri Sues U.S. Department of Commerce to Change Formula for Reapportionment of U.S. House Seats

On January 30, the state of Missouri filed a federal lawsuit against the U.S. Department of Commerce. The lawsuit seeks to obtain an order that when the number of U.S. House seats for each state is determined after the 2030 census, the population figures for each state should not count undocumented aliens. State of Missouri v U.S. Dept. of Commerce, e.d. Missouri, 4:26cv-131.

The case was initially assigned to U.S. District Court Judge Maria A. lanahan, a Trump appointee, but she recused herself, so now it is assigned to Judge John A. Ross, an Obama appointee. The case will probably become a 3-judge U.S. District Court case. It will be interesting to see if the Defendant defends current practices of the Census Bureau. The Bureau has traditionally resisted asking respondents if they are legally admitted, for fear that if the Census were to include such a question, it would be more difficult to persuade people to answer the Census questions.

  1. They are illegal immigrants and should not allowed into this country. Democrats love them because they hope to gain instant and permanent power as the only major (or maybe legal) political party.

  2. Why would anyone who was legally admitted be afraid of saying so? And why would invaders count towards apportionment? Isn’t that just completely crazy and inviting trouble?

  3. APPROX MATH — 435 REPS X 14 M / 336 M = 18 PLUS REP SEATS AFFECTED
