2. The first census results to be released are the latest state population counts used to determine each state's share of votes in the House of Representatives and the Electoral College for the next 10 years. Those numbers were legally due on Dec. 31, but the pandemic...
3. ...and the Trump admin's last-minute schedule changes disrupted the Census Bureau's plans for quality checks that make sure no person living in the U.S. is counted more than once or in the wrong place.

After Feb. 1, the Census Bureau is likely to have a new confirmed commerce secretary who intends to depoliticize the count and listen to its experts to ensure that 2020 census results are accurate.

My write-up of Gov. @GinaRaimondo’s confirmation hearing:
npr.org/2021/01/26/960…
@GinaRaimondo 2. If confirmed, Raimondo would oversee a Census Bureau that had been caught in a partisan firestorm during the Trump administration, when the expertise of civil servants was repeatedly overruled and undermined.

Raimondo is signaling a different approach:
@GinaRaimondo 3. Until today's hearing, Raimondo had not made a single public comment about the census since being named as President Biden's pick for commerce secretary — not at the Jan. 8 event where Biden introduced Raimondo and not in this:

NEW: The Biden administration has appointed Meghan Maury — policy director of @TheTaskForce and a former member of the Census Bureau's National Advisory Committee on Racial, Ethnic, and Other Populations — as a senior adviser at the bureau Meghan Maury - Senior Advisor, U.S. Census Bureau
@TheTaskForce 2. Meghan Maury is well versed in the challenges facing the Census Bureau and the 2020 census, which Maury has been tracking for years as a NAC member and census advocate:
@TheTaskForce 3. Given Maury's track record of advocating for equal rights for LGBTQ people, it's worth noting that both President Biden and Vice President Harris have supported adding sexual orientation & gender identity questions to the 2030 census & federal surveys:
