When people ask why there's flagging faith in the government, it's because of stuff like this: errors *always* run in the same direction, in ways that benefit democrats and hurt Republicans. There's also never any real recourse.
The latest contestant is the US Census Bureau, which has been found to undercount Republican states and overcount democrat ones:
https://www.dailysignal.com/2024/09/18/exclusive-h...“The 2020 PES identified statistically significant overcounts in New York, Massachusetts, Rhode Island, Hawaii, Delaware, Minnesota, Utah, and Ohio, while finding undercounts in states like Texas, Florida, Mississippi, Arkansas, Tennessee, and Illinois,” he wrote. “Of the eight states overcounted in the 2020 census, six states have typically voted for electors for the Democratic Party candidate in presidential elections for the last three decades.”So basically the democrats have 3 House seats they shouldn't and Kamala Harris' EV path is at least 3 EC votes easier.
From the letter:
Because of the 2020 Census’s failure to accurately count, Colorado gained a seat it did
not deserve, Rhode Island and Minnesota kept seats they should have lost, and Texas and Florida
were not awarded seats they should have gained.9
No states had statistically significant
miscounts in the 2010 Census.10 The Census Bureau must explain the marked discrepancies in
the 2020 Census, especially when compared to the 2010 Census.
