Anomalies Found in Data Put Census Deadline in Jeopardy

Associated Press

   The director of the Census Bureau said Thursday that irregularities
   have been found during the numbers-crunching phase of the 2020 census,
   a development that jeopardizes the statistical agency's ability to meet
   a year-end deadline for handing in numbers used for divvying up
   congressional seats.

   The Census Bureau was facing a shortened schedule of two and a half
   months for processing the data collected during the 2020 census --
   about half the time originally planned. The Census Bureau would not say
   Thursday what the anomalies were or publicly state if there would be a
   new deadline for the apportionment numbers.
