Lawmaker: Trump Officials Want Delay in Census Due to Virus

Associated Press

   ORLANDO, FLORIDA - The Trump administration wants to delay deadlines
   for the 2020 census because of the coronavirus outbreak, a move that if
   approved would push back timetables for releasing data used to draw
   congressional and legislative districts, the chair of the House
   oversight committee said Monday.

   U.S. Rep. Carolyn Maloney said administration officials were requesting
   all field operations be postponed until June 1 and that the deadline
   for wrapping up the nation's head count be pushed back until Oct. 31.
