New York state is leading a group of 17 states, seven cities and the U.S. Conference of Mayors in a lawsuit against the Census Bureau and Commerce Department to try to remove a new citizenship question from the 2020 census questionnaire. It comes more than a week after California filed a similar lawsuit in San Francisco federal court against Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, who oversees the bureau, and Census Bureau officials.

The states joining New York State Attorney General Eric Schneiderman's lawsuit filed Tuesday in Manhattan federal court are Connecticut, Delaware, Illinois, Iowa, Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota, New Jersey, New Mexico, North Carolina, Oregon, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island, Vermont, Virginia and Washington.

The cities are Washington, D.C.; Chicago; New York; Philadelphia; Providence, R.I.; Seattle; and San Francisco, plus the United States Conference of Mayors, a bipartisan group.

Democrats Call For Senate Hearing Over 2020 Census And Citizenship Question


The census has not asked all U.S. households about citizenship since 1950. The Justice Department requested the question be added back to the questionnaire so it can enforce the Voting Rights Act with a better count of voting-age citizens. But New York and other states are alleging that adding the question is unconstitutional because it would undermine the government's constitutional responsibility of counting every person living in the U.S. every 10 years.

Their complaint also alleges that the addition of a citizenship question violates the Administrative Procedure Act because there are sufficient citizenship numbers already to enforce the Voting Rights Act and the change does not meet the Census Bureau's own standards for testing new questions.

North Carolina suing US government over census question

The worst part @ this is the PEOPLE, our citizens are not asked if they want the question removed. Gov't officials are elected to see the will of the people is heard and commenced. All these so called non-partisan groups, mayors conferences are in place to fulfill globalism, open borders and to secure illegally cast ballots. Only way they can win. All these governors, mayors are told how to run things for the good of soros' cause and cheap labor with dummies as the populace.

NY AG schneiderman should spend his time straightening out his court systems that are allowing thousands of "juvenile" ms-13 gang members into his state and have the people pay for their every need.
