Alabama has reportedly filed a lawsuit challenging the federal government’s practice of counting immigrants living in the U.S. without legal status in its official Census Bureau population counts.
The state filed a lawsuit in federal court Monday arguing that the new census numbers for 2020 will result in Alabama losing a congressional seat and a vote in the Electoral College to a state with a bigger “illegal alien population,” according to The Associated Press (https://talkingpointsmemo.com/news/alabama-lawsuit-census-bureau-undocumented-residents-count).
The state of Alabama and Rep. Mo Brooks (http://thehill.com/people/mo-brooks) (R-Ala.) are the plaintiffs in the suit.
