Episode notes
Trump's Mid-Decade Census Plan
- President Trump is ordering a mid-decade census excluding illegal immigrants to ensure accurate representation.
- This move challenges the traditional decennial census and aims to address distortions in state representation and federal funding.
Census Counts Affect Power Balance
- Counting illegal immigrants in the census inflates Congressional seats and federal funding to certain states.
- Removing them would shift power away from Democrat strongholds and demand policy changes for electoral competitiveness.
Racial Districts Maintain Democrat Seats
- States use racial-based districts and gerrymandering to entrench Democrat power despite non-competitive elections.
- Removing protections for racial districts could lead to significant Democrat seat losses nationwide.
