Beat me to it. Census is a Leftist jobs program, and they leverage it to the fullest corruptibility possible.
I have never met a conservative census worker. Ever.
“Census is a Leftist jobs program, and they leverage it to the fullest corruptibility possible.”
For instance, U.S. librarians volunteer their libraries to be advertised, official places where people can register to vote and often places where people actually vote. Are new Americans and non-English-speaking Americans and other new voters unofficially influenced in choosing a political party and candidates?
Now you have.
Two.
In the hinterland, the decennial Census is the Square Deal.
We're pretty professional about it.
I was an "embed" that they didn't know about. :)
The data stuff that I mentioned above came from very high up. I've worked in IT centers, and rolling out a data set that I described would be a decision way, way above lots of pay grades.
The people in the first three or four levels that I dealt with were very apolitical. I actually knew a supervisor three or four levels above me that became a Republican staffer for a US House member after the 2010 Census.
Good man, that one.
