Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) announced on Wednesday plans to push for a recount of the 2020 census, which would allow for the reconfiguration of Florida’s congressional districts.

DeSantis cited new data from the Census Bureau’s 2022 Post-Enumeration Survey, which revealed Florida was undercounted by nearly 3.5%, during a press conference alongside state Attorney General James Uthmeier. The attorney general said the bureau undercounted Florida’s population by around 700,000 people in the 2020 census, adding that the current congressional representation does not reflect its actual population, as the census negatively impacted the number of seats allocated to the state.
