The Make It Count Act aims to change how the U.S. counts its population by including citizenship status in the census and adjusting how representatives are allocated based on that information. This is important because it could affect political representation and resource distribution across states.
1. This bill requires a citizenship question on the 2030 census and future censuses. 2. It changes how representatives are apportioned by counting only U.S. citizens. 3. The bill limits states to one congressional redistricting after each census. 4. States can only redistrict again if a court orders it for constitutional reasons. 5. The bill mandates reporting on census statistics by citizenship status.
