Go on line and fill out your own form. Got a reminder in the mail, it will help protect the workers and get you and your household counted.

I was hired as an enumerator and was supposed to start training next week. This is the first I’ve heard of this. There is NO information online for those of us hired. Really poor communication.

I have a close friend doing same down in S. C. Do keep us posted and I’ll keep in touch with her too as this goes along.
You got that right!!! That is something Republicans actually do quite well.
Good for you my census ID would not work but I did it by phone
Hope mine was just a glitch
He wins, gets inaugurated and immediately resigns so he can get his grifting into high gear. He only has to worry about the NYState DA.
Good luck with that!
I’m finding it increasingly difficult to game this out. Cities, Trump’s natural enemy, have the most hard-to-count groups, and missing them in the census give the Democrats less representation in the 2020’s House (among other bad outcomes). Waiting a while quite likely gives the pandemic more time to expand, as it is hard to imagine a declining pandemic by April. Again, the infection expansion will mainly be in the cities. Could that be a motive for the delay?
Could this affect the Electoral College in November as well, tilting the proportion of still living rural voters to still living urban voters in the winner-take-all states (i.e., almost all of them)? Or is it counterbalanced by Trump’s late start in acknowledging the virus, a late start that has contributed to widespread Republican skepticism about it? But I expect that they turn on a dime when he does…
I wonder if these subjects came up during the closed-door HHS meetings. Or am I being too cynical?

With people like Miller and Kushner, no amount of cynicism is an overestimate…
After three years of Trump and his evil minions, I don’t think it’s possible to be too cynical. Trump and his cult followers are evil to the core and willing to break any law to maintain power.
