A Census Bureau report is being twisted to justify election theories
It turns out that one weird report is doing a lot of heavy lifting for Donald Trump these days.
So, there is this obscure report from the Census Bureau that everyone is suddenly obsessed with. It turns out that a right-leaning think tank had their fingerprints all over the process that led to this specific data being published. Now, Donald Trump is using it to claim that non-citizens were flooding the ballot boxes back in 2020.
The experts are already rolling their eyes because the methodology is, to put it lightly, highly unusual and basically detached from reality. It is a classic case of taking a nuanced study and slapping a sensationalist sticker on it to win a political argument. It is not exactly a smoking gun, but it sure looks like a desperate attempt to keep a ghost story alive.
Somehow, math has become the latest arena for political fan fiction.
