Just as with every Freeper not going along and filling in your count and race: you are simply assuring that a larger share of federal funds will be given to those of whatever races you aren’t.

Are felons and parolees supposed to be counted as whole persons, or as 3/5-persons? What about illegal alien outlaws?

Also, what did the term 'enumerate' mean in 1787? Modern usage is closer to 'identify and count off one by one' than 'determine the quantity of'. Further, using name and birthdate will make it possible to avoid double-counting of people who happen to be in a hotel for part of the day when the census is taken but who are also counted at home. If conservatives don't want to let Democrats use extrapolations to 'improve' their tallies, I would think they should favor the 'identify and count off one by one' meaning.
