Court ruling backs adjusted 1990 census undercount
A federal appeals court ruled the Bush administration failed to justify the census undercount, siding with civil rights groups and states seeking an adjusted tally. The 1990 undercount, about 2.1 percent or 5.4 million people, hit minorities hardest including Hispanics, Blacks and Asians, while whites were undercounted less than 2 percent. The Clinton administration faces decision to appeal or rectify, with potential loss of seats and funds for Wisconsin, Pennsylvania and others.
