(AP) -- A delay in census data is scrambling plans in some states to redraw districts for the U.S. House and state legislatures.
The Census Bureau has said redistricting data that was supposed to be provided to states by the end of March won't be ready until August or September.
That's after the deadline to finish redistricting in some states. As a result, states such as Oklahoma and Oregon are considering ways to use other population estimates to begin redistricting state House and Senate seats.
Officials in other states, including North Carolina and Texas, have proposed delaying their 2022 primary elections.
