Rhode Island is one of eight states to overstate the 2020 Census count according to the Census Bureau. The 55,000 over-count allows the state to keep its two Congressional seats because of some bull-crap legislation. These type of shenanigans are typical of this state's political landscape. We still have one billion+ dollars of economic stimulus money withheld from RI businesses during the pandemic. RI may be the smallest state in the union, but it ranks number one as the most politically corrupt in my opinion.
