Census Bureau says redistricting data will be delivered just one month before off-year elections

 

The U.S. Census Bureau on Friday said that its 2020 redistricting data will be delivered to state houses on Sept. 30 of this year, just one month before this year's off-year elections.

Census Bureau Chief of the Redistricting and Voting Rights Data Office James Whitehorne said in a blog post on Friday that, during a "typical decade," the bureau would presently "be on the verge of delivering the first round of redistricting data from the 2020 Census."

"However, COVID-19 delayed census operations significantly," Whitehorne said. The bureau is "focusing first on our constitutional obligation to deliver the state population counts for apportionment to the President," with a deadline of Apr. 30, he said.

After that, redistricting data is expected to be delivered to state houses "by Sept. 30, 2021," Whitehorne said.

 

"This data delivery will be a single national delivery, rather than our originally-planned staggered delivery of redistricting data," he added.

"We are acutely aware of the difficulties that this delayed delivery of the redistricting data will cause some states," he continued. "Some states have statutory or even state constitutional deadlines and processes that they will have to address due to this delay."

The decision to have a single national delivery ensures that the Census Bureau can provide accurate, high quality, and fit-for-use data in the least total amount of time to all states," he stated.

Amid rising violent crime and demands to 'defund police,' gun sales skyrocket among blacks

 

Gun sales among black Americans skyrocketed by 56% in 2020, partly in response to a push to "defund police" leaving many Americans worried about protecting themselves, according to a gun expert with Gun Owners of America.

Gun-buying activity shattered U.S. records in 2020, with the Federal Bureau of Investigation recording both the highest number of background checks in its history and the highest increase of checks year-over-year in over two decades.

According to data from the National Instant Criminal Background Check System (NICS), 21 million background checks related to the sale of a firearm were conducted in 2020 — a 60% increase over the previous year.
