A change to the counting of New York prisoners for the census has drew a lawsuit on Monday from Republicans who are worried about their districts losing population.
Passed as part of a budget extender last year, the change in counting would most likely grow the population in New York City, which is a Democratic stronghold and could alternate the power dynamic in the Senate. The Republican argument is based on the idea that including this provision in the budget extenders is unconstitutional, which could severely change the budget and census process.
Below is the complaint from state Republicans...
