Editorial: The census is in trouble. So is democracy

'If the 2020 census isn’t in a state of crisis, it is awfully close.' (via latimesopinion)

Only once in U.S. history has the decennial census not been used to reapportion House seats among the states., in the wake of World War I and at the fulcrum point of the nation’s shift from a primarily agrarian population to an urban one — driven in part by the Great Migration of southern Blacks and a surge of southern European immigrants to northern cities.political battle led to stasis, and Congress never did get around to reallocating its seats based on the 1920 census.

Skipping the 1920 reapportionment was a failure by Congress to live up to a fundamental responsibility. The nation needs this current Congress — and the one that will take over in January and receive the apportionment numbers — to fulfill their responsibility to ensure the 2020 census is as accurate as possible, and that apportionment of future House seats isn’t skewed by the nefarious tactics of the Trump administration.
