You may have heard that the corrupt Trump crime family is pushing to get a citizenship question added to the 2020 census. They say it’s because they want to “better enforce the Voting Rights Act.”

This, of course, is yet another scurrilous lie: Census Citizenship Question: Revealed: Memo Shows Trump Officials Trying to Rig Elections for Whites.

A secret trove of documents was revealed Thursday showing that the Trump administration added a citizenship question to the 2020 census as part of a right-wing plan to change how voting districts are drawn in the United States—a plan hatched to benefit “non-Hispanic whites.”
