Data snags cause Trump to miss giving Congress census data
Read full article: Data snags cause Trump to miss giving Congress census data(AP Photo/John Raoux)The Trump administration missed a deadline for giving Congress numbers used for dividing up congressional seats among the states, as the U.S. Census Bureau works toward fixing data irregularities found during the numbers-crunching phase of the 2020 census. President Donald Trump on Sunday let slip the target date for transmitting the apportionment numbers to Congress. โThe Census Bureau is committed to fixing all anomalies and errors that it finds in order to produce complete and accurate results," said Deborah Stempowski, an assistant director at the Census Bureau, in a court filing last week. The earliest date the apportionment numbers will be ready is March 6, as the Census Bureau fixes anomalies discovered during data processing, Department of Justice attorneys said Monday during a court hearing. Gina Raimondo will be his nominee for Commerce Secretary, which would make her responsible for the final 2020 census numbers instead of current Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross, if census data processing continues past Jan. 20.
