Democrats are concerned about the Trump administration’s change to the Census, the lack of critiques about from the right about how the Republican-controlled government is performing and the impact of gerrymandering. A roundup of editorials Wednesday takes a look at these issues.

From The Atlantic: “Unauthorized immigrants—and even authorized immigrants with undocumented family members—might have good reason to avoid taking this Census or to respond falsely, both of which would severely hamper the quality of data and make the DOJ’s claims moot.”
