The director of the U.S. Census Bureau, Robert Santos, announced Thursday he is resigning, giving President Trump an early opportunity to nominate a new political appointee to lead the agency.

Libs are worried.
Good!
We can clean up the rolls and STOP counting INVADERS!!
Turn over every rock.
You are so right. This is big. The census is a joke these days. It doesn’t mean jack.
Explains the resignations, rats leaving the ship
The census is every 10 years. The next will be 2030. There will be another presidential election before then.
Yes the Census has been a source of corruption on a massive scale. This could have huge ramifications.
What would it take to declare an earlier census based on inaccuracy/fraud?
Planning has just begun for ‘30 and begins in ‘28 or ‘29, plus appointments are for 5 years.
Santos resigned....a Trump appointee will not.
I’d bet the WH stays red for a while, as well
It can be a real game changer, if we can have an honest census reported out in 2030.
The problem is that Trump’s commerce Secretary has already said that he will count everyone including illegal aliens. Of course it doesn’t really matter since they won’t be in office for the next census
Pointless, I suspect, as I don’t believe reapportionment would be reconfigured early.
I’d gamble house R margins will increase going forward, we may need to rely on that.
Santos has probably been making sure denizens of cities(i.e. Democratic voters) were counted. So there would be more Dem.reps in Congress. Probably did creative accounting (lies) about the numbers of city voters.
Who is that ?....in confirmation hearings ?
Ds are panicking illegals will not be counted.
They need to get rid of the GerBiL crap on the form, and only recognize man-woman married couples.
I wonder how much they had on him.
According to the pronoun at the end of the article, it is written by a he/him.
sounds like a litmus test from Ds ....posed to a potential Commerce Sec.
Census Bureau would override Commerce Sec, wouldn’t it ?
This threatens to undo the ENTIRE Obama/Biden raison d’etre of open borders.
Oh illegals can be counted as long as they are counted as non citizens who will not count for representation
its from public radio and the article —as expected—avoids most of the consequences described in a similar AP/MSN article that almost predicted Trump would see to it that illegals were not counted.
