The 2020 census undercounted the country’s population by 18.8 million people, the Census Bureau said on Thursday, acknowledging that the count had underrepresented Black, Latino and Indigenous residents.

At the same time, the census overcounted the number of white and Asian residents, the bureau said.

Robert L. Santos, the bureau’s director, said that despite the omissions, the results were consistent with recent censuses.

“This is notable, given the unprecedented challenges of 2020,” he said in a statement. “But the results also include some limitations — the 2020 census undercounted many of the same population groups we have historically undercounted, and it overcounted others.”

The U.S. population grew to 323.2 million, the bureau said on Thursday, a 5 percent increase from 2010.

13. So the plan succeeded.

And we'll never do anything about it. Just give up ever more house seats and electoral college votes.

I've been saying this all along. Chump screwed it up on purpose.
Covid didn't help, but the 2020 Repuke Census is a FUBAR.
