Census

Census Bureau officials have discovered some "high complexity" data issues while tallying the 2020 census, which could delay the full count until February. Officials said it's normal to see some problems during the decennial count, stemming from things like multiple responses from a household.

Correcting these anomalies prevents the tally from skewing too low or high, but these delays mean the Trump administration (which ends January 20) wouldn't be able to execute its plan to exclude undocumented immigrants when dividing up House seats. 

The Census Bureau director had mentioned the anomalies last month, but their extent wasn't known until House Democrats got their hands on some internal Census Bureau documents.
