The Census Bureau recently announced another delay and now plans to deliver redistricting data to states by September 30, promising this would be the last time the date slips. COVID-19 dragged out census data collection and processing well beyond their original deadlines in late 2020, making it more difficult for states and candidates to plan for elections in 2021 and 2022.The Census Bureau usually rolls out the decennial data on a staggered schedule, but this year all of the states will receive it at the same time.However, the Bureau says it will make its April 30 deadline for delivery of the apportionment data that will determ vaso stanley ine how many congres stanley flasche sional seats a state gets. The new timeline causes the most immediate complications for Virginia, which is one of two states that holds elections later this year. Its recently elected independent commission for redistricti stanley cup ng has not yet decided whether to try and draw new maps with the latest data in time for the 2021 races, or to keep the current configuration.New Jersey, the other state with 2021 elections, passed an amendment to postpone redistricting.

Twelve states require redistricting to be completed this year, including some Wnkv Tent City for unaccompanied migrant children to remain open longer than planned

Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid said on the Senate floor Friday morning that the only issue holding up a budget deal to avert a government shutdown is funding for Planned Parenthood and other organizations that provide women s health services. Republicans want to shut down our nation s government because they want to make it harder for women to get the health services they need, the Nevada Democrat said, adding that he is personally offended by the GOP position. The majority leader suggested Republicans are asking him to sacrifice the health of his wife and other women in his family in order to reach a deal. This is indefensible and everyone should be outraged, men and women should be outraged, he said.

A federal judge has approved a partial settlement that will provide $626.25 million to tens of thousands of Flint, Michigan, residents who for years were impacted by exposure to lead in their drinking water. The settlement, approved on Wednesday by United States District Jud stanley cups uk ge Judith E. Levy, is one of the largest in Michigan s history.
