Home

n u Feb. 25, 2021 at 10:54 a.m. HST Ohio sued the U.S. Census Bureau on Thursday over its decision to delay the release of redistricting data by six months. The delay will cause "irreparable harms" to Ohio as it faces its own state -mandated deadlines for congressional and state legislative districts, which are drawn up using census data, Ohio Attorney General Dave Yost (R) said in a suit filed in the Southern District of Ohio. The lawsuit seeps to force the bureau to release the data by its original March 31 deadline, or at least sooner than Sept. 30, the date the bureau has said it will release the numbers. The bureau plans to release redistricting data from the 202o decennial count all at once, unlike in past census years when data for different states was rolled out on different dates.
