The U.S. Census Bureau will fail to meet a Dec. 31 deadline for reporting data used to draw congressional seats, the agency announced Wednesday.
If the data is not submitted before President Donald Trump leaves office on Jan. 20, his attempt to exclude unauthorized immigrants from the tallies used to establish seats in the House of Representatives could be in jeopardy, the Associated Press first reported.
The bureau said in a statement that it is aiming to deliver its state-by-state data “in early 2021, as close to the statutory deadline as possible.” It is the first time in 44 years that the deadline has been missed.

Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse called congressional Republicans’ effort to reverse President-elect Biden’s victory a “dangerous ploy” in an open letter to his constituents.
Sasse urged his GOP colleagues to reject “a project to overturn the election,” adding in his letter that there is no evidence of widespread voter fraud.
“All the clever arguments and rhetorical gymnastics in the world won’t change the fact that this January 6th effort is designed to disenfranchise millions of Americans simply because they voted for someone in a different party,” Sasse said. “We ought to be better than that.”
Sasse has been one of President Donald Trump’s most vocal critics among Republican lawmakers.

Carlos Roman of the Bread and Barley in Covina, California had enough. The COVID lockdowns under Adolf Newsom have been as draconian as they could be. In Michigan, Fraulein Whitmer has also engaged in power-grabbing lockdowns to curb the spread of the virus. We’ll come to that in a second, but back to Roman. He’s the hero of the day. Tired of seeing the health inspector issue fines to business already teetering on collapse, he simply parked his massive truck to prevent the inspector from leaving, possibly issuing more financial harm to innocent American business owners.

President-elect Joe Biden will travel to Georgia Monday to campaign alongside Jon Ossoff and Rev. Raphael Warnock, the same day that President Donald Trump will hold a rally in Georgia for Sens. David Perdue and Kelly Loeffler.
The competing events take place on the final day before Georgia’s high-stakes dual Senate runoffs on Jan. 5. The races will determine which party controls the Senate, and have attracted multiple high-profile figures including Trump, Biden, Vice President Mike Pence, Vice President-elect Kamala Harris and former President Barack Obama.
