Project 2025’s section on the census bureau spells out a detailed plan to politicize the statistical agency.

The citizenship question, along with a series of other proposals will likely lead to significant undercounts of already vulnerable populations, leading to unequitable congressional representation and inequitable allocation of federal funds.
