by Axios | 2.15.19

The Supreme Court has agreed to hear an appeal from the Trump administration in its efforts to add a controversial citizenship citizenship question to the 2020 census.

Why it matters: Critics of the citizenship question argue it would lead to an inaccurate census count, as legal and undocumented immigrants could refuse to participate as a result of the current polarized political climate. The data from the census is how congressional seats and electoral college votes are allocated, and demographers believe an undercount could reduce the political power of heavily Democratic states with large immigrant communities during the next round of redistricting in 2022.
