“‘My bill,’ US Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene (R-GA) tweeted in June, ‘will require the U.S. Census Bureau to conduct a new census immediately upon enactment of the bill. In conducting the new census of the U.S. population, it shall require questions determining the citizenship of each individual, and count US citizens only.’ The money shot: ‘[T]he bill will direct states to immediately begin a redistricting of all U.S. House seats process using only the population of United States citizens.’ Naturally, US president Donald Trump supports the idea. So does Florida governor Ron DeSantis. Why? Because Republicans want to rig future elections by re-drawing — that is, re-gerrymandering — the American political map to benefit themselves. One problem with the idea: It’s wholly, completely, and unquestionably illegal.” (07/31/25)
