Trump's census proposal violates centuries of constitutional precedent and represents a desperate attempt to rig the political system in favor of Republicans. The Constitution clearly requires counting all persons, not just citizens, and there's no legal mechanism for conducting a mid-decade census for redistricting purposes. This unconstitutional power grab aims to manipulate electoral maps rather than ensure accurate representation.
