NEW: No state redistricting officials asked @uscensusbureau to include citizenship data with #2020Census data for redrawing voting districts, but bureau still plans to release block-level citizenship data in 2021 by same deadline for redistricting data👇

@uscensusbureau 2. At Sept. 6 @copafsK mtg, @uscensusbureau Chief Scientist @john_abowd described the block-level Citizen Voting-Age Population data the bureau plans to release as a "different product" than #2020Census PL 94-171 Redistricting Data File. But same release deadline: March 31, 2021
@uscensusbureau @copafsK @john_abowd 3. Remember: back in July, amidst all of the confusion about the now-blocked citizenship question, @CommerceGov @SecretaryRoss
quietly directed @uscensusbureau to produce Citizenship Voting-Age Population data "that states may use in redistricting"👇
@uscensusbureau @copafsK @john_abowd @CommerceGov @SecretaryRoss 4. Apparently, @SecretaryRoss ordered @uscensusbureau to produce Citizenship Voting-Age Population data at block level even though no "stakeholders" indicated "a need for tabulations of citizenship data" on #2020 Census PL 94-171 Redistricting Data File👇
@uscensusbureau @copafsK @john_abowd @CommerceGov @SecretaryRoss 5. Don't forget: before he died, GOP redistricting strategist Thomas Hofeller concluded that using Citizen Voting-Age Population data when redrawing voting districts could be "advantageous to Republicans and Non-Hispanic Whites"👇

@uscensusbureau @copafsK @john_abowd @CommerceGov @SecretaryRoss 6. President Trump in his July executive order about citizenship data: "I understand that some State officials are interested in such data for districting purposes. This order will assist the Department ... so that it can respond to such requests..."👇
@uscensusbureau @copafsK @john_abowd @CommerceGov @SecretaryRoss 7. UPDATE: Here's my write-up on the Trump administration ordering the @uscensusbureau to produce citizenship data for state redistricting👇
