Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross' surprise decision Monday evening to end 2020 census counting on October 5 risks an incomplete tally of as many as 10 states, including Florida and Georgia, according to Census Bureau officials.

The officials presented that prediction at a Monday afternoon meeting, according to internal documents the Commerce Department and Census Bureau made public on Tuesday.

The other states that may not reach completion are Alabama, Arizona, Louisiana, Mississippi, Montana, New Mexico, North Carolina and South Carolina.
