But can or will that data be used for apportioning congressional seats? Or is only Census data used for that?
...
The data Trump ordered yesterday will be part of the Census. He claims the data will be more accurate than the citizenship question.
That’s what I heard too.
I’m always curious about the details, or even the general concept. What data is useful for this and how would it be used without potential abuse or invasion of privacy? I am envisioning for example the IRS turning over a list of all addresses that report taxes and the number of dependents reported, but not the names. Then checking these numbers for a given address against the numbers (and possibly SSN #s) reported by the census questionnaire. Any other thoughts?
