    BREAKING: The 2020 census redistricting data, needed to redraw voting maps, is now expected by Sept. 30, a senior Democratic aide briefed by the Census Bureau tells NPR. The 6-month delay allows for more quality checks and could throw elections into chaos.https://www.npr.org/2021/02/12/965823150/6-month-delay-in-census-redistricting-data-could-throw-elections-into-chaos …

        2. This delay, first reported by @miwine & @emilybazelon of The New York Times, is expected to be publicly announced by the Census Bureau soon. The census schedule has been dogged by COVID-19 and the Trump administration's interference. (Sorry for 1st tweet's typo: *data are)

        3. A Senate bill that formally extends the legal deadlines for 2020 census results — to 9/30 for redistricting data and 4/30 for apportionment counts — will be introduced soon, say Sen. @brianschatz (D-Hawaii), plus Sen. @lisamurkowski and @SenDanSullivan, both Alaska Republicanspic.twitter.com/YU4UXD0SwD

        WASHINGTON — U.S. Senators Brian Schatz (D-Hawai‘i), Lisa Murkowski (R-Alaska), and Dan Sullivan (R-Alaska) announced today that they will reintroduce a bipartisan bill to extend two key statutory deadlines for the 2020 Census. This bill would set the deadline for the apportionment data to April 30, 2021, as well as extend the deadline to deliver redistricting data to the states to September 30, 2021 from March 31, 2021.   These extensions would allow the Census Bureau to continue processing data, after the COVID-19 pandemic caused delays to normal census operations. Without extending these statutory deadlines, there could be a severe undercount of the population, specifically in Native, minority, and rural communities across the country.   “The Census Bureau should take all the time it needs to report its data and make sure every person is counted as mandated by the Constitution,” said Senator Schatz. “Our bill would extend these statutory deadlines and ensure that we get a fair, accu

        4. NEW: The Census Bureau officially confirms in this statement that it's now planning to deliver 2020 census redistricting data by Sept. 30, six months later than the March 31 legal deadline, because of pandemic-related delays and Trump's schedule changes https://www.census.gov/newsroom/press-releases/2021/statement-redistricting-data-timeline.html …pic.twitter.com/3kFjttZCsQ

        5. State redistricting officials, take note: the Census Bureau says it will deliver the redistricting data for all states at once (by Sept. 30) and not "on a flow basis," as the head of the Census Bureau's redistricting office has signaled for months:https://twitter.com/hansilowang/status/1346890396304089089?s=20 …

        Hansi Lo Wang added,

        “It's mostly a consideration of risk and timing. So, by not doing the multi-week release, we're able to reclaim three weeks and the ability to get the data out to all states ... the redistricting data can't get started until we have the outputs of apportionment, and we now know that apportionment is running late. We also know that there were things that we normally would have done as we prepared for apportionment ... at the same time as, for creating redistricting, that we had to delay. So, we're now going to have to incorporate that. So, we're looking for efficiencies wherever we can. And what this does is it allows us to buy at least three weeks in that schedule, and it allows us to reduce risk because it allows us to review all of the data that we produce for all of the states so that if we find something in one of the later states we review, we can make sure that that's addressed and that the high quality standards of data that are expected from the Census Bureau are being met.”

        4. Delivering redistricting data to the states all at once rather than on a rolling basis saves the Census Bureau time and allows it to do a more comprehensive quality check on the data, James Whitehorne said #NCSLelections pic.twitter.com/2NSFglnEZf

        6. James Whitehorne, head of the bureau's redistricting office, acknowledges "difficulties" the delay will cause states. "Following our thorough & complete process provides the best assurance ... that these data meet the quality standards they expect" https://www.census.gov/newsroom/blogs/random-samplings/2021/02/timeline-redistricting-data.html …pic.twitter.com/fxBMHCJKOS

        We are acutely aware of the difficulties that this delayed delivery of the redistricting data will cause some states. Some states have statutory or even state constitutional deadlines and processes that they will have to address due to this delay.  The decision to have a single national delivery ensures that the Census Bureau can provide accurate, high quality, and fit-for-use data in the least total amount of time to all states.  Following our thorough and complete process provides the best assurance to the states that these data meet the quality standards they expect and require to underpin their important decisions.

        7. NEW: The head of the Census Bureau's redistricting office, James Whitehorne, says that if the bureau finishes its quality reviews earlier than expected, it would release the redistricting data earlier. But Whitehorne says: "We don't anticipate finishing much before Sept. 30."

        8. The chair of @DemRedistrict, former AG @EricHolder, says: "No state should use this new timeline as a pretext to hold 2022 elections on old maps because they think it would be politically advantageous or as an excuse for drawing maps in secret with no public input."pic.twitter.com/UTVpGYizn2

        Although the Census Bureau’s new timeline for releasing redistricting data will pose challenges, states should now begin taking steps to ensure they conduct a transparent and fair redistricting process. No state should use this new timeline as a pretext to hold 2022 elections on old maps because they think it would be politically advantageous or as an excuse for drawing maps in secret with no public input. I will oppose any such efforts.    “While this delay is unfortunate, it is important to keep in mind that the career officials at the Census Bureau had to conduct the count in the midst of a punishing pandemic with political leadership that never fully supported their mission. Now that they have set this new deadline, the most important thing the Census Bureau can do is to spend this additional time using every resource available to them to make the count as accurate as possible. I am confident that they can do so.
