The Constitution is plain: seats in Congress are apportioned by “counting the whole number of persons in each State.” The Census Bureau has now proposed rules for the 2030 count that would drop millions of residents from that number — everyone without a green card or citizenship — shifting House seats and federal dollars away from the communities where they live and work. The same proposal would make every demographic question optional except a few, and one it keeps mandatory is “biological sex,” in a survey that is a federal crime to refuse. The census is supposed to be a neutral headcount the whole country can trust, not a tool for redrawing political power or cataloging who people are. Resistbot is asking the candidates on your 2026 ballot to require that the census count every resident as the Constitution says, and to block any rule that turns it into a political weapon.
