by Scott Rogers - News Star (excerpt)

U.S. Sen. David Vitter wants answers from the Census Bureau regarding potential errors during 2010's count of Monroe residents. Earlier this month Monroe officials said the city has accounted for about 2,000 more residents living in Monroe than the U.S. Census Bureau counted.

On Tuesday, Vitter submitted a letter to Census Bureau Director Robert Groves demanding answers to the potential errors in Monroe. He said it's the second report of an undercount in Louisiana.

In May, Vitter's office requested answers regarding errors in Washington Parish, but he said Tuesday the bureau has not provided his office with an adequate response.
