The 2020 census was marketed as an “actual enumeration,” a neutral count of people for apportionment and funding. It was not. The same official who helped block a basic citizenship question in 2018, John M. Abowd, then the Census Bureau’s Chief Scientist, pushed through a new, opaque methodology in 2020 called differential privacy. The new system deliberately injected mathematical noise into every block count in America, turning the census from a headcount into a model with knobs. The knob that mattered most was a single parameter, epsilon, a secrecy shroud known only to a small inner circle. Abowd argued that a single added question about citizenship posed an intolerable risk to data quality because there was, he said, not enough time to test it. Then he rushed an untested algorithm that altered every count in every neighborhood. The irony is so sharp it cuts: the man who warned that one question might distort the census approved a method that guaranteed distortion.

Stolen seats and EVs to support their stolen elections.
“Biden Science” - BS for short
Most secure election ever.
Does anyone remember why/how Trump failed to identify and fire this guy when he sued the administration over census question in 2018, right in the midst of Trump I?
I have developed an axiom: “If Fed.gov keeps any statistic that has any political significance whatsoever, the statistic will be fraudulent.”
The corollary is: “The greater the long-term political significance of that statistic, the more opaque, and the greater the level of fraud, one will find with it.”
It hasn’t been proven faulty yet....
The US Census has a long history of mixed accuracy.
Starting at the most granular level, some census takers are skilled and conscientious. A few are both skilled, conscientious and know the area, the people, they are working.
Other Census takers are either not skilled, not conscientious, unfamiliar with the people they are assigned to count.
My dad was both a mail carrier and pastor. From both occupations he knew the area, which crossed several census tracts. Some valued his knowledge. Some did not.
Then, at each level above the most granular level, “data scientists” who do not know the people or area are assigned to adjust the numbers. Some of them are more skilled than others.
Thus, the census (in my lifetime) has never been a perfect count. The count has always been uneven for several reasons. Some of those are human laziness or incompetence. Some of the reasons are political. In the old ethnic neighborhoods of Chicago the grand parents still lived there. But the Adult children had moved to the suburbs. They were registered to vote in both places. They only voted in the suburbs. The vote harvester/precinct captain voted on their behalf in the old neighborhood.
Some would like to think that Trump is perfect. But his failure to have a better count in 2020 is one area that could have been better, more accurate. That is true regardless of the non-citizen issue.

It really is shocking how “un-democratic” democrats are.
8- states for Republicans, 6 + states for Democrats; as the best line in the essay, there’s fog and then there’s the direction the wind is blowing

I’m almost certain that they injected bad data in to the 2020 census to extend it till Trump was out of office.
“...It really is shocking how “un-democratic” democrats are....”
When one finally comes to the realization that they’re not “democrats” in the original classic sense, but instead, they’re full-blown, rabid, domestic, godless communists hellbent on totally destroying the USA as we know it, a lot of what they do, say and support makes sense.
Media always allows dems 12 men on the field and 5 downs; Republicans just say “hey!” Wouldn’t matter anyway as courts ( the refs0 have the home team bias, and the R’s have “no standing.’
It needs to be corrected now. No waiting until 2031. And if possible then some people need to be arrested for this.
I think some of the red states that were ripped off of funds are suing. I’ll look into it when I have a little more time and let you know
Turns out FR search was most efficient for me, but Sunken Civ just rode in to the rescue.
Unfortunately, so far, a strongly worded letter is all we’ve got , looks like
No bad press. Wiki: John_M._Abowd
Pretty much just this article. This guy should be in jail.
