It's worth noting that the Census Bureau is part of the Commerce Department, so I wonder what effect the cuts will have on the 2020 Census ...
Surely would lead to less accurate results. I'm sure Republican lawmakers would love an underfunded census to undercount minorities and the poor. Lots of partisan and fiscal benefits there!
That could actually hurt Republicans in reapportionment. An inaccurate count in Texas would effect how many seats the state gains overall, which would mean one less Republican seat to gerrymander.
