I am kind of surprised that a federal official would say that she won’t fully answer all census questions. But I agree with her that this ACORN takeover of the census is wrong. I wish something could be done about that.
We all know what is going to happen. ACORN will over estimate a bit here and there how many people live on the South Side of Chicago, East LA, Harlem, etc. They will use the statistical sampling to up the numbers of people officially reported by the census in favored regions.
Politically, it could add electoral votes to states such as New York, Illinois, and Calif, all of which are big states which expect to vote for Obama again in 2012.
Some gov’t activity should be non-political, and the census is definitely one of those.
Are they already asking the questions door to door? I heard a guy on the local radio say a nut from ACORN gave hime something saying he was required to answer all questions, yet the ACORN nut had already filled everything out before going to the house.
