‘A triumph for all Americans’: State AG, others hail high court decision to drop census citizenship question

The administration of President Donald Trump on July 2 dropped its plan to include a citizenship question on the 2020 census.

The action came in the wake of a U.S. Supreme Court ruling last week in which the panel by a 5-4 vote said Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross’ stated reason for including the question — allegedly to aid voting rights enforcement — “seems to have been contrived.”
