DeSantis said that the Trump admin was considering approving a new census before the end of the decade — a move that the governor predicted could help Florida gain extra congressional seats.

At this point the GOP would count the alligators in the census to boost their seat numbers in Congress

Sometimes, they move the goalposts closer. But only for themselves.

GOP logic: they want to run a new census before '26 election because they say that the official census in '20 was flawed & shouldn't count undoc. residents. They believe they'll gain seats in a new census. But if they don't count everyone, the population decreases & they lose seats, right? 🤷♀️

Just stop. Why do you not even attempt to fact check the headline? It’s expressly unconstitutional. Article 1, Section 2. Here’s the headline: “DeSantis supports unconstitutional move by the Trump administration to move the decennial census to gain even further political advantage in Florida.”

Weird they all seem to think Dumpy will be around for decades. He is diseased and declining. When old age and poor health lead him off this mortal coil they will be gobsmacked. Strange in that he’s a decrepit 79 y/o declining rapidly.

They're only going to count white people, like in the old days. Next up, only counting white dudes who own property.

But here's the thing. If you narrow down who you count in the census, the population count will decrease, and therefore we would actually lose seats in the congress. Makes no sense.

Republicans and Trump will do anything to retain power. The Democrats really need a strategy to take back the House of Representatives, the Senate and the White House. Democrats don’t seem to have any long term plans!

Florida has used immigrants and people of color for many years. That state would not be profitable if they didn’t have immigrants. So now others don’t count in their state and therefore want to make sure census data shows that. Ridiculous!

I do believe this might be gerrymandering hidden as a so called census.

I do believe you're correct, although I'd say there could be dispute whether it's "hidden" or not.

DeSantis wants a new census to grab more congressional seats for Florida. Because nothing says 'democracy' quite like changing the rules mid-game when you don't like the score. They've moved beyond gerrymandering districts to gerrymandering reality itself.

Yeah, we weren't even a democracy until the Voting Rights Act & look how much voter suppression we've had ever since. Then after Roberts gutted the voting rights act, it's been even worse. We've had the illusion of a democracy. youtu.be/JKeXEN2nOHM?...

The Census is issued every 10 yrs and here we see FL and other RED States trying to change that so they can gerrymander the elections WORSE than they already are!

Once again, a new census every 10 years is quite literally written in the Constitution. Clearly, they don't care.

What is the penalty for an administration that defies a court ruling? I can't see anyone being held accountable since the president has immunity for his actions in office and controls the military.

I worked census in 2010 and 2020 in rural Florida. 2010 was logical, no problem, tools that supported the task. In 2020, everything was on att phones, which can't be read in bright light, and didn't have signal half the time. It was a terrible task.
jul 31, 2025, 1:49 am • 4 0 • view
I have to agree! The handheld portable computers? and support tools used in the 2010s Census were far better than the ATT phones used in 2020. I also worked the 2010 and 2020 Census in a rural Kansas City suburb.
