Republican gubernatorial candidate Bob Fanning and his running mate, Flathead resident Chuck Baldwin, have joined a lawsuit challenging a U.S. Census Bureau population apportionment that includes non-American citizens.
That's to the detriment of Montana's representation in Congress, Baldwin said Friday at a gathering of about 30 supporters at Sykes' Restaurant in Kalispell.
"The Barack Obama administration is quietly in the process of rigging use of the U.S. Census of 2010, which deliberately counted millions of illegal aliens, for the purpose of restructuring the apportionment of the U.S. House of Representatives," Baldwin claimed.
"This rigging will keep Montana from having a second congressional representative," Baldwin said. "If the illegals in California, Texas and Florida are not included, then Montana will receive two congressional seats and four electoral votes. Under Obama's rigging plan, Montana will continue to have only one congressional seat and three electoral votes."
Regardless of their political views or affiliations, Baldwin said, Montanans should have an interest in challenging the Census Bureau's open claim that it "is required by the U.S. Constitution to count everyone living in this country, regardless of immigration or citizenship status."
Baldwin described that as a "gross misinterpretation" of the Constitution. He maintains that the 14th Amendment authorizes "a targeted decennial census of the 'respective numbers' of 'the People' of the several states, not a wholesale count of the number of persons found living in the United States."
He criticized Montana Gov. Brian Scwheitzer and Attorney General Steve Bullock for not joining a lawsuit filed by the state of Louisiana with the U.S. Supreme Court last week. Fanning and Baldwin have joined a group of organizations and individuals who subsequently filed an amicus brief in support of Louisiana's lawsuit.
According to supporting court documents, the plaintiffs in the case maintain that five states — Louisiana, Montana, Missouri, North Carolina and Ohio — will lose representation in Congress that they are legally entitled to, while California, Texas and Florida will gain representation that they are not legally entitled to.
Schweitzer and Bullock, he said, should have "been on this plaintiff list before it was brought to my attention."
He said that Republican gubernatorial frontrunner Rick Hill and the mainstream media should have done more to bring attention to the matter as well.
Baldwin said the issue is consistent with the Fanning-Baldwin campaign theme of being staunch states' rights advocates and defending Montana in its relations with the federal government.
