Internal Census Bureau documents a whistleblower provided to the House Oversight Committee warn that the Trump administration’s plan to rush the 2020 count will “reduce accuracy,” “negatively” impact the redistricting data the count produces, and creates “risk for serious errors not being discovered in the data.”
Funny how there were no census results from the blue states, Wilbur…
“negatively” impact the redistricting data the count produces
NOT from the GOP point of view
Funny how the Republican wonk who worked on voter suppression died, but that’s not the end of the jiggery pokery. Who is the Republican “screw with the Census” wonk? All of this doesn’t have Trump’s greasy fingerprints all over it, it sound more like mainstream Republicanism.
Sure, sure…people think that whole “Wiiiiiiiilbur” gag is cute, but Mr. Ed was a monster!
He financed production, so the entire cast had to put up with “Mr. Hooves”, just to keep their jobs.
Not a single woman on that set (or a single boy from the chorus) wanted to be left alone with him.
Half the time he was drunk, and the other half he was being sued in Family Court.
And talk about a bigot – it was always “the Jews this!” and “the Coloreds that!”
I understand half of Hollywood boycotted his funeral.
So he was a stable genius, too?
There’s only a handful of green areas in the map = everything else are delayed 2020 response rate compared to 2010.
That said…
“reduce accuracy,” “negatively” impact the redistricting data the count produces, and creates “risk for serious errors not being discovered in the data.”
That is so-on brand with Trump, whose bailiwick are inaccuracy, lies and inflation/deflation of tax numbers, never mind that it will affect immigrant and rural population!
Yup, and he screamed and screamed at the staff until he was horse…
Saddle down, now!
Hay, you started it!
This is the plan, shove through whatever they can, errors leaning in their favor, and try to lock in whatever advantage they get out of it. And then sue the Biden administration when they try to fix it so it’s done the way it should have been done.
The only thing that is going to save us from this is the civil service staff, as they take this stuff extremely seriously and don’t want the political appointees to try to take advantage from it. They are going to leak and blow the whistle to keep the output data fair and valid, despite the consequences…if Trump loses the interference will probably increase simply to make sure that the process is right. We’ll see if they can manage to keep the Republicans from cheating like this.
You’re not going to stirrup this pony again?
Well, my mane complaint is that they keep making these blanket statements…
Not furlong.
To be fair, we should all start out on an equus basis…
To paraphrase Adam Serwer: The serious errors are the point.
I think those are fake glasses as well.
It’s not a bug; it’s a feature.
By next census, Social Security will be a year away from running out of money:
The Social Security Old Age and Survivors Insurance fund, which pays out retirement benefits, is on track to run out in 2031 as the economic fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic takes its toll, according to a Wednesday report by the Congressional Budget Office.
Without Congressional action to address the shortfalls, the depletion of the fund would lead to benefit cuts for retirees.
CBO projected that the OASI fund would drop from $2.8 trillion today to $533 billion in 2030, and run out the following year.
Looking at Wisconsin on that map:
The area that is in deep red is also deep red in political circles. So Trump has done nothing here but hurt the GOP. It’s a wonderful thing!!
