On the last three days of March, teams of temporary Census Bureau workers visited the types of places, including what the bureau calls "targeted non-sheltered outdoor locations" (TNSOL), where homeless people are known to congregate. These workers were carrying out the "Service-Based Enumeration" (SBE) phase of the Census, which counts the nation's homeless population.
The bureau gave these workers two instructions that seemed peculiar: When they counted a homeless person, the workers did not need to take the person's name or date of birth, and if a presumed homeless person insisted he or she had already been counted by the Census, the workers were supposed to count that person anyway.
These orders raise an obvious question: Is the 2010 Census counting some homeless people twice?
The issue has not escaped the notice of the Office of the Inspector General of the Department of Commerce, which oversees the Census Bureau. During the effort to count the homeless, officials from the IG's office visited 13 local Census offices to observe first-hand how the count was conducted. On May 5, the IG published a report for Congress on Census operations during the first quarter (January-March). It included the IG's observations on the homeless count.

How long before the administration thugs try to bring this guy down like they did with I.G. Gerald Walpin?
My family got the short form census, but for every question asking about my household, I put our name and AMERICAN in every box below that . . . I don’t care what the question was, I put AMERICAN. And then I mailed it in. That’s all I would tell them . . . how many people lived in our house, our ages, and AMERICAN for nationality. If they call my house, I’ll tell them to go to hell if they want more info . . . so far, no calls.
Wish I would be alive in 75 years
just to see the census forms and look for:
Smelly Bob - check
Wild Eyed Bill - check
The Can Man - check
Shorty - check
Crazy Preacher Lady - check
Why would they? That would be counter to the long-lived, lefty assertion that the homeless only exist during Republican administrations.

Or, they can just blame Booooooosh for it.
Only twice?
That's before they statistically "adjust" the numbers, where they can multiply the "count" by some suitable number...
They might as well ... they didn't count anyone in my family at all.
Only in Blue States... It's to make up for the ones not counted in Red States.
