Mr. Mayfield, I'd like to focus on the Census Bureau's decision to utilize the the differential privacy methodology for the first time in the 2020 census. I am incredibly concerned that intentionally creating structural inaccuracy in census data collection at the lowest unit has impacted the reliability of nationwide census counts, Congressional reapportionment, assignment of presidential electors, redistricting, and federal funding allocations. In light of these concerns, could you briefly explain the steps that the Census Bureau took when adopting and implementing this preferential Privacy within the 2020 Census? (00:34–00:53)
CLAIM
Asserts that structural inaccuracies in census data affect census counts, Congressional reapportionment, presidential electors, redistricting, and federal funding.
