The U.S. Census is supposed to be free of politics, but one group with a history of voter fraud, ACORN, is participating in next year's count, raising concerns about the politicization of the decennial survey.
The Association of Community Organizations for Reform Now signed on as a national partner with the U.S. Census Bureau in February 2009 to assist with the recruitment of the 1.4 million temporary workers needed to go door-to-door to count every person in the United States -- currently believed to be more than 306 million people.
A U.S. Census "sell sheet," an advertisement used to recruit national partners, says partnerships with groups like ACORN "play an important role in making the 2010 Census successful," including by "help[ing] recruit census workers."
The bureau is currently employing help from more than 250 national partners, including TARGET and the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP), to assist in the hiring effort.
But ACORN's partnership with the 2010 Census is worrisome to lawmakers who say past allegations of fraud should raise concerns about the organization.

WOW, this just comes out of the blue, who knew.
FYI
They better get a case to SCOTUS before then by an Ex-JAG officer or military or this census will be a disaster. He is just giving trillions away.
The census will rig elections forever. GOP better wake up because we could be in a depression for decades and the Dems will keep “winning” elections.
This is truly incredible!
I'm honestly beginning to wonder whose side the GOP is on. To let these things sit is suicide.
Oh, great.
Now we’ll be counting “Mickey Mouse” and the rest of the Disney characters in the census.
Question 1. How many Che' and Obama posters does your household have hanging on the walls?
The List ping
What a shock! NOT! You could see this coming a mile away. Someone better to take it to court like yesterday.
This was a great reason for the voter fraud that was rampant and another reason Operation Chaos should never have happened. With so many people switching registrations to vote in the Dem primary, it messed up the whole system and the consequences were that some voter fraud was able to get into the system because of the overload. Talked to an election board secretary that said that ACORN and other organizations used the switching of registrations which overloaded the system to get in their fraudulent voters which they have discovered AFTER the election.
Next time anyone says to register as another party to vote in their primary, tell them to shove it. We would have been better off with the Dem primary ending early instead of giving ZERO momentum by beating Hillary.
Question: is it mandatory to participate in the census?
Even more urgent that we put a stop to this power grab!
Spouse applied for job as Census worker...she has the wrong background - no ACORN affiliation and wrong ancestry - no job, not even a callback.
bttt
In the meanwhile, the NRC and NRSC are panicking because they can't raise any money. They should start first by investing in some steel ones and start finding their principles again.
Forget the message. You can't have a message until you have some core principles to guide you.
I'm so disgusted with the gutless wonders we have in DC coupled with the bobble-headed teleprompter president and his adolescent crew.
“Question: is it mandatory to participate in the census?”
yes, it is required by law.
Republicans in Congress apparently have no power to stop this. Can the GOP governors do anything to protest these brazen political moves? Not that Schwarzenegger or Crist care to help Republicans I suppose.
