The addition of a question on citizenship to the census would do real harm to a broad swath of rural and urban communities alike across the nation. When our neighbors aren\u2019t represented and included in all counts, entire communities lose out on funding for Medicaid, economic development, childcare, schools, roads and public transit improvements, home heating assistance for senior citizens, and many more vital services.\u201d\r\n\r\nThe letter emphasizes that the U.S. Supreme Court and the Justice Department under both Republican and Democratic administrations, have repeatedly confirmed that the Constitution requires an apportionment based on the number of persons living in each state.\r\n\r\nTo read the full letter,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/commoncause.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Common-Cause-Letter-Opposing-the-Equal-Representation-Act.pdf\">\u043a\u043b\u0438\u043a\u043d\u0438\u0442\u0435 \u0441\u044e\u0434\u0430<\/a>.\r\n\r\n&nbsp;"}}]},"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v26.6 (Yoast SEO v27.1.1) -
