Democrats fear the Trump administration’s re-reinstatement of citizenship questions on the 2020 U.S. Census will cost California a Congressional seat and billions in funding.

The number of U.S. House of Representative seats was fixed by law in 1911 at 435. The “enumeration” requires at that each state have at least one Representative, and the other Representatives are allocated according to population as determined by the U.S. Census every ten years. Based on the 2010 Census data, California received the most, at 53.

But Politico reports that could change with the Department of Justice sending a letter on December 12 to the Census Bureau asking that the citizenship question eliminated in 2010 during the Obama administration be reinstated for the 2020 Census.

Contra Costa County, duh.

If we do this, we should also force Rhode Island into a neighboring state of it's choice.

Couldn't they come up with a more imaginative name than "New California?" "New California" is a name we should reserve for something like a future Moon or Mars permanent settlement.

Isn't there some Indian name for the area?
Sequoialand?
Greater Mojave?
Reagansylvania?
