Counting on chaos: How census miscounts could decide 2024 | Blaze Media

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

65% : The data shows Trump could win with just the Sun Belt.
48% : A possible 268-270 Electoral College loss for Trump really should be a 271-267 win.
48% : However, what if the states that Trump would likely win, based on clear population data, should actually yield more than 270 votes, even without a single Rust Belt swing state? The Constitution mandates a census every 10 years to determine each state's congressional representation.
48% : In Federalist No. 36, Alexander Hamilton wrote, "An actual census or enumeration of the people must furnish the rule, a circumstance which effectually shuts the door to partiality or oppression." Today, self-evident truths are often distorted, making it easy for the government to manipulate data with bias and unfairness.
42% : If Democrats retain the blue wall, Trump would still have 268 electoral votes -- just one short of a potential win through a congressional vote.
37% : However, in the Electoral College, if Trump wins the Sun Belt swing states and Harris carries the Rust Belt swing states, instead of Trump losing 270-268, he would win 271-267.
22% : When Trump tried to exclude undocumented immigrants from the census count, the courts blocked his efforts.
