Census ruling could affect aid and election districts
The Clinton administration asks the Supreme Court to allow adjusting the 2000 census results to account for an estimated undercount of minorities. The plan aims to ensure a 100 percent head count for apportionment, a move supporters say is constitutional and necessary to guide district boundaries and $180 billion in federal aid. Opponents argue it violates the Constitution and federal law, with lower courts already ruling the plan unlawful.
