House Republicans on Wednesday passed a bill that calls for adding a citizenship question to the decennial census, re-upping an issue that the Supreme Court blocked in 2019.
The legislation — titled the Equal Representation Act — cleared the chamber in a party-line 206-202 vote.
The measure would direct the Census Bureau to add a question to the 10-year survey asking for the respondent’s citizenship status and require that the U.S. only consider citizens when determining the number of congressional seats each state receives.
Targeting that apportionment would give Republicans a pathway to slicing away at the impact of high-population, liberal-leaning states like California.
