Court blocks right-wing effort to rig Census count
Judges issued a blow to America First Legal (AFL), the law firm co-founded by now-Trump advisor Stephen Miller, in a decision to permanently dismiss the case that claimed the way the United States Census Bureau used statistics to count people in 2020 left Florida Republicans underrepresented.
The ruling marks a win for historically underrepresented voters, including naturalized citizens, lower-income and young people.
Pro-voting intervenor Cameron Driggers, a master’s student at the University of Central Florida, wrote in his motion that for him, the Census’ statistical methods ensure his vote as a student living in a dormitory is accurately counted.
Although AFL has made a last-ditch effort by appealing to the U.S. Supreme Court, yesterday’s ruling made by both Obama and Trump-appointed judges suggests the decision will likely stand.
