“””The report had been that they were going to print the forms two days ago — without the question.”””
This is the government. No way would they would print the forms in two days.
Supposedly it was ready to go and that was the day for the printing. The news was that they decided not to postpone it, so it was getting printed on Monday without the question.
A hundred million forms (approximately)? Yeah, I doubt all 100 million of them were to be printed on Monday. But still, the obvious question is whether the printing was postponed or they want ahead without having the question on the form.
