/1🚨BREAKING — Rep. @ByronDonalds is now a plaintiff in AFL’s landmark lawsuit challenging the 2020 Census.

Every American deserves to be counted AND represented.
The Census SKEWED population counts and STOLE representation.
Every American deserves to be counted AND represented.
/2 AFL, in partnership with Weber, Crabb & Wein, P.A., has filed an amended complaint adding Representative Donalds to our lawsuit to hold the U.S. Census Bureau accountable and protect states from losing representation through unlawful statistical methods.
/3 In addition, AFL has filed a response opposing a motion to intervene by parties represented by the @EliasLawGroup, further underscoring the stakes of this fight.
@EliasLawGroup /4 This filing marks a major step in the fight to ensure fair, equal representation under the law.
@EliasLawGroup /5 Federal law could not be clearer: the Census Bureau CANNOT use statistical sampling to determine the population for congressional representation.
@EliasLawGroup /6 In 2020, bureaucrats at the Census Bureau broke with over 200 years of precedent and used two unlawful statistical modeling techniques, “Group Quarters Imputation” and “Differential Privacy.”
@EliasLawGroup /7 These unlawful statistical methods distorted the true population count.
And they changed the entire political map of the United States.
And they changed the entire political map of the United States.
@EliasLawGroup /8 By adding Rep. Donalds — whose home state lost out on two additional House seats — AFL is underscoring the real-world stakes.
@EliasLawGroup /9 The injury here is NOT theoretical.
It cost Americans their voice in Congress.

@EliasLawGroup /10 AFL’s lawsuit seeks the following forms of relief:
➡️ Declare the 2020 Census unlawful.
➡️ Enjoin the Census Bureau from using unlawful methods ever again.
➡️ Require the Census Bureau to produce a new 2020 Census Report that doesn’t rely on unlawful statistical methods.

@EliasLawGroup /11 Representation must be based on real counts — not flawed statistics.
@EliasLawGroup /12 AFL President @GeneHamiltonUSA:
“The Constitution and laws of the United States have requirements for the Census for good reason. It determines representation, funding, and even how the president is elected. Representation must be based on real counts of real Americans.”

/13 “The blatant disregard for our Constitution and federal law by the Census Bureau in 2020 was not only highly illegal, but also directly corrupted the electoral process,” said Rep. @ByronDonalds.
“I am proud to join this effort alongside America First Legal to uphold our Constitution and defend government of the people, by the people, for the people.”

@EliasLawGroup @GeneHamiltonUSA @ByronDonalds /14 America First Legal will continue fighting to protect election integrity and fair representation in Congress.
No American should be silenced because unelected bureaucrats defied the Constitution.
