News summary

A House committee led by Chairman James Comer is investigating potential overcounts and undercounts by the Census Bureau that may have disproportionately benefited Democrats in congressional apportionment following the 2020 census. Comer pointed to significant errors identified in the 2020 Post-Enumeration Survey, suggesting these miscounts influenced representation in favor of traditionally Democratic-leaning states. Concurrently, House Speaker Mike Johnson expressed concerns that illegal immigration could undermine U.S. elections, claiming that undocumented individuals might influence outcomes if not properly regulated. Johnson advocates for the SAVE Act, which would require proof of citizenship for voter registration, amid criticisms from Democrats who argue it could erode electoral confidence. Additionally, some Democrats fear that Johnson's potential obstruction of electoral vote counting could threaten the legitimacy of a Harris presidency if she wins in 2024. These developments highlight ongoing tensions surrounding representation and election integrity in the lead-up to the next presidential election.
