A public-interest law firm is suing the U.S. Census Bureau to ensure that allegedly flawed procedures used in the 2020 census are not employed again in the 2030 count, the lawsuit claims.

In the lawsuit, America First Legal said its efforts are to ensure the census only counts actual people, unlike in the 2020 count when “unlawful statistical sampling methods” were used.
