More of Alabama's Tax Revenue Tossed Down The Drain

 

 As The Brennan Center For Justice reports:

"Last week, the state of Alabama gave up its long-running and unfounded lawsuit to force the U.S. Census Bureau to exclude undocumented people from the population counts used to divvy up seats in the House of Representatives. The suit — which Alabama tried to push through the courts for nearly three years — ultimately couldn’t escape the gravity of law and reality. Alabama’s decision to stand down marks a significant victory for the ongoing campaign to ensure a full, equitable, and accurate 2020 Census and truly representative government nationwide.

Alabama’s lawsuit challenged the bureau’s “residency rule,” which requires it to count everyone living in the country when calculating the apportionment, including undocumented people. Alabama claimed that the rule would cause the state to lose one of its seven seats in Congress to a state with a larger population of undocumented people, since reapportionment is a zero-sum game."
